BMW F 800 R 2019

BMW F 800 R 2019

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.

strong brakes

upgraded equipment

low weight

accessible geometry

characteristic sound

effervescence is a little lacking

The Z 1000 SX is a great middle ground, indeed the optimal intersection between sport and touring motorbike. There are not many bikes that manage this so well.

Confident, powerful engine

fairing suitable for touring

sporty layout

good traction control

surprisingly versatile

well-integrated pannier system.

Unconventional handling in tight corners

windshield could be higher.
