The F 800 R wants to firmly hold its place in the mid-size roadster clan. However, it must deal with competition more deceitful than ever and a very present fratricidal burden. The transition to 2017 and the adaptation to Euro4 standards sharpen its teeth a bit. The roadster becomes more tempting.
Good news, it is not losing power. Its 90 horses are always pawing at call; it is on the injection side that things have changed. The BMW gains a ride-by-wire accelerator, guaranteeing a finer response to the throttle. Above all, it makes it possible to implement Modes of Conduct, which many Behemians already have at their disposal. The F 800 R can now be driven “à la carte”: Road mode for everyday use, Rain mode for difficult conditions. And if it suits you to tap into the optional bag, a Dynamic mode intends to make driving more sporty..
More anecdotally, the bike takes advantage of the engineers’ work to lift its exhaust a little and enrich the dashboard (redesigned dials, engine fault indicator, driving mode display). Then it’s a roadster both serious and mischievous that awaits users:
The F 800 R – She has several roles: versatile roadster, and entry level at BMW. He left the fury to the S 1000 R and notoriety to the R 1200 R. From there to provoking a slight identity frustration, there was only one step. So, she decides to change her gaze. What to do with these asymmetrical eyes, symbol of the BMW house and a source of both light and questions? Forgetting seems to be the order of the day, in order to make way for a more aggressive and protruding block. We can guess a certain influence coming from the facies of the Husqvarna 900 Nuda, cousin of a short time. And the teenage crisis ends with tank scoops (the false one) which conquer the fresher air on the fronts of the machine. On the back and under the seat, the fuel flap always has its small effect, ensuring the filling of the (real) tank under the saddle. The rebellion is also present where it is not expected: on the dashboard. Everyone is succumbing to digital fad. But the F 800 R saw fit to keep two good needle blocks to indicate rpm and speed. A digital window judiciously completes the information stock. When the classic becomes original…
Equipped with the parallel twin of 798 cm3, the F 800 R wanted a little more watts to assert itself. Engine manufacturers thus offered it 3 additional horses in 2015. The 90 horses obtained at the same speed of 8000 rpm, and the torque of 8.8 mkg perched at ‘only’ 5800 rpm, will not be the only ones to offer more response. The first two gear ratios were shortened, thus offering more robust relaunches. Not lazy, voluntary and available, this block will satisfy many people in all situations but it still lacks a handful of horses to go and provoke the storms of the segment. It is also available in version A2, with a power reduced to 35 kW (48 hp) and a torque reduced to 7.1 mkg..
The ardor is more marked on the side of the front axle. As if to go hand in hand with the fervor of the optical unit, the steering is entrusted to an inverted fork. What to offer more rigidity and precision to the small BM. This continues and is confirmed at the bottom of the same fork, with the adoption of radial fixing brake calipers..
The rest of its chassis remains, with perimeter aluminum frame, swingarm attached to the engine and single shock absorber. This can receive the ESA reinforcement as an option. A selection click and the electronics set it to Normal, Comfort or Sport mode. Too bad the fork is not in concert. The roadster can also be fitted with optional ASC traction control. However, ABS is supplied as standard..
Pleasant to drive from birth, the F 800 R refines its ergonomics with a new handlebar and footrests that are advanced and lowered by 10 mm compared to the previous generation. A bit of relaxation for the legs. The saddle takes the opportunity to descend to 790 mm (- 10 mm) and facilitate access to small riders. But if this seat height does not suit you, there is something to adjust it as an option; especially as a raised handlebar extends the catalog list.
With a little mischief to decide with a rigor and a very German versatility, the F 800 R asserts itself then its evolution confirms its good manners. Its price retains an entry-level desire, making it possible to afford a roadster stamped with the Bavarian seal for the same price as other mid-size roadsters. On the other hand, the F 800 R has a much more extensive list of options, which can increase the bill beyond 5 digits..
