My Impression of the BMW F 800 R
Since I’ve had my motorcycle licence I have ridden several different bikes from Honda, Ducati and BMW. Each bike has its own pros and cons but none of them fit my requirements more than the new BMW F 800 R: A straight sitting position, wide handle bars and a powerful engine are just a few of its advantages. With a 775 mm seat height and around 200 kg weight this motorcycle can be perfect for short people and especially for women. The naked style in combination with the new colour “fire orange non-metallic” let this motorcycle look sporty and sexy – and maybe its rider too!? Equipped with side and top cases, those available for the F 800 R are easily extendable and offer enough room to put in your riding gear, ensuring the kind of comfort you expect when travelling.
Very smooth to turn in and to accelerate out of a curve it guarantees much riding fun, but a hell of shifting work too. No matter if you ride in a mountainous area like in Greece or somewhere on a four lane highway, with its six-speed gearbox your riding is always powerful and it just takes a few seconds to overtake another vehicle. Also good to know in times of an economic crises is that the fuel consumption can’t be beaten with 4-5 liters per 100 kilometers.
Conclusion: When you purchase a BMW F 800 R you not only pay for the name
BMW: You spent money for high quality, much riding pleasure and a top look – to say the least!
