The F800R is considered an entry-level, sporty bike with rivals such as the Yamaha FZ6 and the Honda Hornet in its midst. Having said this, the engine is a lot larger – 798cc! So, with this BMW you’ll get a large capacity sports bike with a parallel twin engine, but without a whole lot of intimidation. Many riders have enjoyed riding this bike, saying it is one of the best BMW bikes they’ve ridden.
The bike handles well, feeling precise and responsive to the rider. Around corners, this bike feels stable and solid. The spring preload and damping at the rear work well when braking. It is also a good bike through traffic and around town – you may experience a few niggling vibrations but nothing you can’t get used to.
Overall, this bike is well built and competitively priced for a BMW (usually around £5000.) You won’t lose value in a BMW on the second hand market either. Parts are quite easy to get a hold of. You can also get a lot of optional extras and accessories for this bike, including a tyre pressure monitor, ABS, fly screen, high/low seat options and panniers.
