Motorcycle specifications BMWF 800 GS 2016 Plus opti-mixte

when you think of a BMW trail bike, the R 1200 GS is the obvious choice. However, there's another bike in the range that also thinks of trails and mopeds, without the 1200's enormous size, and that's the F 800 GS. Perhaps it's a desire to get out of the shadows that has led it to spruce up its face. Or rather, the shoulders. A galvanic deposit adds a metallic sheen to the radiator covers. Reminiscent of the 2008 R 1200 GS.
The top of the fuel tank is restyled, while the seat is two-tone. Above all, with four variants on offer and the optional lowering kit, buyers are presented with a choice of five seat heights. The height starts at 820 mm and peaks at 920 mm.
Equipment may vary according to the colors chosen. The Sport model comes with a pair of handguards, while the Style model also features them, plus a tinted windscreen and LED indicators.

the engine remains unchanged, as does the chassis. The 798 cm3 parallel twin still delivers 85 horsepower with gusto. As an option, it can be limited to 48 hp for European driving licenses. Like the 700, the 800 comes with ABS as standard. A dual-channel model, it can be disconnected when driving off-road.
For as long as the German brand has been testing a host of innovations, these are no longer reserved for the top of the range. This F 800 GS can be fitted (as an option) with ASC traction control and ESA pilot-controlled suspension. This gives you two co-pilots of choice: the first regulates rear-wheel drive; the second adjusts your suspension according to the chosen mode (Comfort - Normal - Sport).
