The new F 800 R is radically different, and yet every inch a BMW. The advanced alongside accompanying agent with cyberbanking ammunition bang develops 87hp from its 798cc, not to acknowledgment a boss 86Nm of torque. And with the Akrapovic action silencer retrofitted, its complete is every bit as absorbing as its performance.
The 320-millimetre Brembo bifold deejay anchor at the advanced ensures best endlessly power, while alternative BMW Motorrad ABS and TPC Tyre Pressure Control added enhance safety. The bike is additionally awful manoeuvrable, acknowledgment in allotment to the failing aluminium in its adamant anatomy and dynamically styled bifold swing-arm, which helps accumulate its dry weight bottomward to aloof 177 kilograms. Handling is abundantly precise, acknowledgment to the arete of the abeyance set-up, and a ammunition catchbasin amid beneath the bench for a lower centre of gravity.
A abundance of architecture options, including LED indicators, corrective apparatus and radiator trims, accord it an alike sportier look. Streetbike bathe World Champion Chris Pfeiffer says of his new BMW F 800 R; 'The outstanding qualities of this apparatus beggarly I can absolutely booty it to the limit, and advice me to appear up with new, alike added acute tricks!'
For 2010, BMW’s parallel-twin F family will include the all-new F800R naked bike, in addition to the F800GS (dual-purpose), F800S (sport), F800ST (sport touring) and F650GS (lighter-duty dual-purpose). Along with its own specific engine characteristics, the R boasts the usual F family traits: the rare left exhaust/right chain setup (like the GS) and the under-seat tank for a lower center of gravity. The R family also weights significantly less than the larger R and K families from the German manufacturer.
Look quickly and you can see some of the K1300R attitude in the smaller machine - I like it!
A more efficient engine
The nearly-vertical, 798-cc parallel twin-cylinder relies on the same technologies and advancements as the K1300 engine, particularly with regard to the cylinder head, intake system, ignition and injection mapping, and semi-dry sump lubrication system (the oil supply is held in the transmission, a separate chamber from the crank). Other F800 models use a dry sump with external tank, which is heavier and more complex. The engine of the F800R also produces two additional horsepower while peak torque arrives 200 rpm later. Furthermore, the 6-speed transmission gets shorter ratios for the three higher gears in order to deliver stronger high-speed accelerations to counter the naked bike’s reduced aerodynamic performance.
Déjà vu
The chassis is directly derived from S and ST models, except that the single-sided swingarm and belt final drive have been replaced by a conventional dual-sided swingarm and a chain final drive -- all in the name of a more affordable machine. Fortunately, the F800R retains the Brembo braking system backed by an advanced, more effective ABS. The wheelbase, meanwhile, has been extended a little due to the longer fork rake, resulting in increased stability.
Well dressed
In terms of ergonomics, the newcomer offers a lower seat (800 mm vs. 820 for the ST and 850 for the GS) and a slightly more upright riding position (compared to the ST) thanks to closer-mounted handlebars. The footpegs are in the exact same spots as those of the S and ST.
There is no shortage of features on this bike: a color-matched wind deflector, LED turn signals, remote-controlled antitheft alarm, dual-intensity heated grips, a steering damper and generously-sized passenger hand grips. The instrument panel is nicely laid out and provides all the usual info plus tire pressure, engine and ambient air temperatures, selected gear, real-time and average fuel economy as well as a timer.
Agility and precision
Despite a totally different architecture than the Boxer 1200, the engine of the 2010 BMW F800R reproduces the brand’s signature twin-cylinder sound at idle and low revs. It gets excited from 3,000 rpm, delivers solid, effective torque at medium revs, then flies from 7,000 rpm all the way to the redline, accompanied by a nice, almost mechanical growl. What’s more, flexibility in the early part of the rev range means you don’t have to tap dance with the shift lever, while the shorter 4th, 5th, and 6th ratios make for satisfying roll-on acceleration at higher speeds.

The F800R emphasizes rider-friendliness with a low seat and a natural sit-up riding position. Beyond its bad-boy looks, it delivers superior handling (better than other F800 models) along with surprising stability, enough so to instill confidence in less experienced riders.
Sleek and slender, with an ultra-low center of gravity, this naked bike is able to maintain a very spirited pace even though the front fork damping and springing seem too soft for aggressive riding; the nosedive upon braking feels excessive, and the fork offers too little feedback. Still, the R throws itself into corners with disconcerting ease, not to mention that it changes directions as freely as a bicycle and slows down safely thanks to powerful yet easy-to-modulate brakes.
The soul of a sportbike
The more you spend time with the 2010 BMW F800R, the more you enjoy flirting with its playful side, taut chassis and excellent Metzeler Sportec M3 tires. One corner after another, the riding gets increasingly (and insanely) intoxicating, so much so that I caught myself dragging my knee on the pavement on an 8oC autumn day.
Great access, comprehensive equipment, near-perfect ergonomics and a smooth, charismatic new engine all wrapped in a decidedly-sporty chassis is the formula BMW used to create this amazing new toy. Have fun on twisty roads and enjoy the friendliness day in, day out.
