Segment: Naked / Road
Production years: 2013, 2014
In 2013, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW F800R, a naked motorcycle that debuted in 2009 and continued production until 2019, when it was replaced by the BMW F900R.
The BMW F800R was used by Streetbike freestyle World Champion Chris Pfeiffer for stunt riding. At first, he used a BMW F800S, but eventually, he stripped the bike of unnecessary weight, transforming it into a F800R.
The 2013 F800R was a lightweight, agile, and fast machine, available with factory options like a power socket, heated grips, LED turn signals, an alarm system, a tire pressure control system, an onboard computer, and a comfort package that included heated grips and an onboard computer.
In the visual department, the machine featured a tiny screen, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, a two-into-one exhaust system with a muffler mounted high on the left side, a dual-sided swingarm, and 10-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.
In the performance department, the 2013 BMW F800R had its soul brought to life by a 798cc four-stroke twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a fuel injection system feeding the pistons, delivering an output power of 87 hp at 8,000 rpm and 85 Nm (63 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
The power produced by the engine was sent to a six-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-disc clutch and then to the rear wheel through a final O-ring chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to 218 kph (136 mph).
