Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 800 R 2009

In the advertisements, the new BMW F 800 R sometimes comes across as a woman's motorbike. This does not do the bike an injustice, but the civilised engine, the low seat height and the smooth controls certainly suit petite ladies.

Huge second-hand market

great engine tuning

qualitative

visually sophisticated

strong brakes

ABS.

Limited lean angle clearance

chassis needs improvement

cheap details.
