Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 800 R 2015

The F 800 R is a motorbike without any real weaknesses, but remains rather unobtrusive overall even after the update. A very positive feature is the overall equipment, which is of very high quality in this league.

High-quality equipment such as ESA, RDC and ASC

very universally usable

fast to ride and still comfortable

The affordable entry-level bike becomes relatively high-priced when you implement all the extras

terrific on paper and while riding, but it lacks that certain something to become "cult" like a Monster or a Street Triple.
