Segment: Naked / Road
Production years: 2014, 2015
In 2014, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW F800R, a naked motorcycle introduced by BMW Motorrad in 2009. The bike continued production until 2019, when it was replaced by the BMW F900R.
The BMW F800R was a lightweight, agile, and fast motorcycle part of the F series, comprised of several motorcycles with different engine displacement and similar appearances.
The bike was also used by Streetbike freestyle World Champion Chris Pfeiffer for his stunt riding. At first, he used a BMW F800S, which eventually was stripped down of unnecessary weight, resulting in a F800R.
The bike was available with factory options, such as a power socket, heated grips, LED indicators, an anti-theft alarm system, a Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system, an onboard computer, and a comfort package.
The BMW F800R was fitted with standard features, such as a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a tool kit, an adjustable hand brake, a black-finished engine, 10-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels, and a one-key system for ignition, steering, fuel cap, and dual seat locks.
As for the power figures, the 2014 BMW F800R had its heartbeat set by a 798cc four-stroke liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engine with an electronically controlled fuel injection system in charge, boasting 87 hp at 8,000 rpm and 85 Nm (63 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
The engine power was handled by a six-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-disc clutch and a final chain drive, spinning the rear wheel to a top speed of 218 kph (136 mph).
