BMW F 800 S

I'm way impressed with this new BMW offering. Twin cylinder 800. Looks a ripper to me.:2thumbsup

Just realised something. Is that belt drive I see!?:blink:

[Ixion]

Yep. Belt drive. Like some of the F650 models

[nudemetalz]

and a sporty version too....looks good !!! Motor was developed in conjunction with Rotax and is reported to put out more than 80hp.

[Ixion]

And I think that's 80 at the wheel, 110 at the crank

I like that. A German take on the TRX, and the belt drive would be a breeze to live with.

any idea how heavy?

[James Deuce]

Yes. 419lbs(190kg) dry, or what GSXR 750's weighed in 1990.

Must do better Mr BMW.

My R6 weighs 357lbs (162kg) dry and makes 25 more rear wheel HP.

The F800's not a Sports bike at all, in any way. A healthy SV650 will kill it.

:yes: aya... SV weights around 25kg less... must be build for big bone germans..

is it me, or does it look like the new MZs?
i kinda like it, but it is heavy...
what does a TRX850 weigh?, probably a better comparison than an R6.
