Without wanting to force the bike into any clichés, this, together with the low seat height, results in an easy-to-ride motorbike that really accommodates every rider.

Engine is very smooth on the throttle and forgiving of many mistakes

easy handling

good chassis.

Could be a bit more precise and tighter.

BMW F 800 R 2017

BMW F 800 R 2017

With a EURO4 engine, new riding modes, new instruments and new colours, the F 800 R starts the new season. It is recognisable at first glance only by the end cap on the stately stainless steel exhaust. It is one of those full-grown motorbikes that, despite its considerable sporting potential, was designed for the widest possible user group. Therefore, it is absolutely beginner-friendly (throttled), but can also inspire an experienced audience. Its character remains somewhat pragmatic, but the unmistakable, hollow sound of the inline two compensates for this.
