2012 BMW F800R Review
The new 2012 F 800 R is definitely the hottest naked bike around. Three words best describe the F 800 R: light, agile and fast. This cool and sexy roadster offers the perfect combination of highway riding with a high degree of maneuverability for everyday urban use. And the F 800 R's 798 cc, 2-cylinder engine doesn't just look cool, it sounds cool too.
The F 800 R with 87 hp and an impressive 63 ft-lb of torque, offers excellent ridability. Great ergonomics mixed with a firm chassis and a perfectly balanced geometry round off this cool package. The F 800 R is great in the city, stable on the highway, and agile on the backroads.
With this much fun, the standard ABS is welcome too, as are other features such as hot accessories and intelligent luggage solutions.
And finally: it’s a BMW – and a pretty cool one, too.
It's definitely the hottest generation of roadsters since the BMW K 1300 R. Dominance from the very first yard - a perfect combination of pure riding fun and excellent suitability for everyday use.
After its model revision, the F 800 R is just as sexy as it was before - and the 798 cc 2-cylinder engine is as punchy as ever. The masculine design and minimalist lines offer highly attractive purism.
The new radiator side trim, white turn indicators and a wheel cover in the respective body colour turn the roadster into a bike that everyone loves to ride. The new sports windshield - also in body colour - highlights the bike's purist look.
The familiar, highly economical parallel twin continues to offer superb enjoyment. 86 Nm of torque is an outstanding figure in this class of motorcycle, as is 87 bhp.
In particular because this power is available across a perfectly linear engine speed range - in other words ridability and riding fun across the board; here the BMW F 800 R offers a breadth of performance which pleases experienced riders just as it does beginners.
Weighing in at just 177 kg with ergonomics which provide a perfect fit for everyone, a clean, crisp suspension and perfectly balanced geometry: the new F 800 R embodies uncompromising style that everyone loves to ride.
