Motorcycle novelty: an upgraded BMW F800ST for 2013 ?
BMW Motorrad was actively working on a revised and corrected version of its F800 ST, this mid-size road bike launched in 2006 (read our Test of the BMW F800 ST).
BMW Motorrad was actively working on a revised and corrected version of its F800 ST, this mid-size road bike launched in 2006 (read our).
According to stolen photos published by our colleagues from, this new 2013 (?) Retains the general appearance of the current model and its main characteristics (in-line twin, final belt transmission, telescopic fork, etc.). On the other hand, it shows fairings with more angular shapes, a more imposing windshield, new ten-spoke rims and a silencer located higher..
So many modifications that betray a desire to improve the comfort and protection of this pleasant "little" GT, except perhaps with regard to the displacement of the stainless steel silencer. The exhaust outlet now passing closer to the rear shell, it comes into contact with the left case, which could affect its load volume…
BMW could also take advantage of this upgrade to transpose to the twin Rotax of 798 cc of the F800 ST the mechanical modifications recently discovered on the "cousin" (increase of the displacement to 898 cc, in particular). The operation would boost the performance of the Behème road (85 hp and 86 Nm currently) at a lower cost, but for the moment falls within the domain of the hypothetical.
