Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 800 R 2015

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.

The predecessor was already able to be ridden in a sporty manner as well as convincing on tours, the new R 1200 R can do even more - thanks to the pannier system (of course at extra cost), travelling is still no problem, but it masters sport even better. Thanks to the now partially water-cooled boxer twin-cylinder engine, it is wonderfully agile - 125 hp may not seem like much on paper, but the engine pushes incredibly and behaves in a cultivated manner to boot. The chassis and brakes also score highly and the seating position is sporty and upright, covering a wide spectrum from wonderful fun to long-distance touring. Unfortunately, BMW also understands the trick with the surcharge list perfectly. The basic model is well equipped with ABS that can be deactivated, traction control that can also be deactivated and two driving modes, but many interesting gimmicks are almost obligatory - and of course drive the price way up.
