presentation of the F 800 R 2012
what are you doing in 2012?!? A little facelift. I've had the same clothes since 2009, I feel like a change. That's what the F 800 R said when its friends accosted it at the bend here. It continued with a virolo here, and the BMW roadster teased without pretension. Tough competition, the voracity of Husqvarna's new Nuda 900 cousin, horsepower madness... None of this has shaken the F 800 R.
are you saying that...? I mean the same engine, the same chassis, the same bike in technical terms. The twin remains the 798 cm3 it debuted on the F 800 S and ST. A nice but discreet engine, well supported by a sporty sound that's very pleasant when you take it up to higher revs. This twin-cylinder engine reveals a much more sparkling face in the second half of the rev counter.
Same chassis: agile, efficient, good braking and easy to tame. This F 800 R phase 2 evolves only in terms of shoulders and finish. New, more imposing side panels give the roadster more cachet, while hiding the radiator. The front mudguard is now painted body color, the turn signals are white, and Béhème now supplies the sport windscreen as standard. ABS is available as an option, as is the possibility of flirting with youth: the engine can be quieted down in the 34 hp version.

Bikers' reviews Leave a review - 12 reviews
2012 model. I'm coming out of an r 1150 r
which had 150,000 km. I'm 62 years old.
i drive in the 04.
the
in 1st its maneuverability with the stop.qu\ it facility for the manÅ"uvres slow.. and the half turns tjrs shit on the road.
easy to drive, a bike, but even the 1150 was easy to ride.
negative points :
a small hole between 3500 and 4000, not very peachy, but with a little practice, you can forget about it.
the pot's noise wasn't great,
the chain and its maintenance, when you've been riding with a cardan shaft for 30 years...
be careful with the petrol when you run out, it stalls easily.
otherwise, nothing but happiness ... easy bike. Rating : 4/5 Respond to patpat
c\'est une moto genial!
Avril 2013 j\'ai eté chercher une Kawa Z800 de marseille c\'est de la \"M\"... a 56 ans je n'pensais pas que les moto allait être si \"linaire\"!!!! October 2013 sale of the Kawa... November purchase of my dulcinea F800r millesime 2012.
it's "La Moto\"... nothing to do with the jap\'s so easy to handle that I feel rejuvenated once I'm in the saddle.
June I'm off to Corsica, where... i bought myself some ground-level turns (at my age!!) and for the duo, my wife, in August in Spain, made the discovery that "your bike is comfortable", coming from her, it's consecration!
one word... buy it and the pleasure of motorcycling will return... Rating : 5/5 Respond to domino
I'm also looking for a tank protector, what do you think of Bagstere?
Bonne route!
see you when I've tamed the beast. Rating : 4/5 Respond to joueur13
i've fitted an ERMAX bubble and I'm very satisfied from an aesthetic point of view, value for money, and what's more I can ride at up to 120 km/h without lowering my head, so it's all to the good Rating : 4/5 Participate in the conversation
In short, you've got it, for me this is a super bike that will give you complete satisfaction. I only have one regret: not having bought one sooner! Rating : 5/5 Respond to Zblot
When I'm told that to try it is to adopt it, it makes me laugh!
On the other hand, other Japanese brands aren't so sectarian. The funniest thing is that they told me it's the same regardless of the engine size BMW MOTORAD TINQUEUX in the Marne ! Rating : 5/5 Participate in the conversation
I guess they don't know at this BM dealership the intricacies of the old and new licenses. In that case, they could have informed themselves on the net, unless the salesman was given strict instructions. That's how you lose a potential customer. I've had worse problems than this, and I'm not about to trust the brand again. Too bad, because the F800s are good bikes. You've also got the Yam Fz8, which is a good roadster, and a good compromise too. Rating : 4/5 Participate in the conversation
