What is the F 800 GS known for?
The new parallel-twin engine of the F 800 GS offers enhanced peak power with an improved torque curve. Thanks to the optimized power curve, the F 800 GS reaches its peak power of 87 hp at 6,750 rpm earlier, with a simultaneously increased maximum torque curve of 67 lb-ft at 6,750 rpm. The BMW F 850 GS is equipped with a 853 cc parallel-twin engine delivering 95 hp (70 kW) at 8,250 rpm and a torque of 92 Nm at 6,250 rpm. In comparison, the F 800 GS features a slightly larger 895 cc engine, but with lower output of 87 hp (64 kW) at 6,750 rpm and 91 Nm of torque at the same engine speed.At 227kg the F 800 GS weighs exactly the same amount as the old F 750 GS – unsurprising, given the fact they share so many parts – and there’s no change to the brakes other than the welcome addition of BMW’s ABS Pro cornering anti-lock system becoming standard, rather than optional.As with other models in the F-series range, the F800GT uses a 798 cc (48. BMW and Rotax.And with a somewhat smaller 15 litre capacity fuel tank (4 litre reserve). It only weighs 213 kg (470 lbs) unladen. As an onlooker the bmw f800 gt appears heavy – maybe part of that is its front fairings and hump tank.Despite its higher output, the F 800 GS manages to maintain a weight similar to that of the F 750 GS (227 kg), ensuring balanced handling. Fuel consumption rises slightly with the F800GS, moving from 4. L to 4. L for the F 800 GS, still offering a similar range thanks to a 15-liter tank.
What is the fuel consumption of the F 800 GS?
After riding the F800GS over a week I returned a best fuel consumption of 4. At that time I was riding 4 cylinder Japanese bike that made the BMW feel like a tractor in comparison. If I remember correctly the F800 engine is made by Bombardier/Rotax, that also makes engines for snowmobiles and water jets. Fuel tank shows full until you’ve used up half the fuel.
