The BMW F800S was a sports bike manufactured by BMW from 2006 to 2010, along with the F800St sport-touring model. The range also comprised the F800GS and the naked F800R.

The F800S and F800ST were driven by a low-maintenance final belt drive and featured a single-sided swingarm. Also, a rear wheel lift detection system was installed on the models with an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS).

In various markets, including the United States, the BMW F800S was removed from production after the 2007 model year and, in most of the world markets, was discontinued after the summer of 2010.

In the aesthetic department, the bike packed standard features, such as a half fairing with a small windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a left-mounted exhaust system, and ten-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.

The bike was built on an aluminum frame with a 43 mm traditional telescopic fork on the front and a single-sided swingarm with an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, delivering optimum suspension performance and handling.

The braking power was achieved by two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 240 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering excellent stopping power.

The 2008 BMW F800S had installed underneath its fuel tank a 798cc four-stroke liquid-cooled two-cylinder engine with an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system in charge, boasting 85 hp at 8,000 rpm and 85 Nm (63 lb-ft) 5,800 rpm.
