BMW F800R (2009-current)

BMW placed the F800R as an entry-level, sporty, naked urban machine to slot in amongst myriad of 600cc middleweight bikes eg Yamaha FZ6, Triumph Street Triple, Honda Hornet and so on – even though its engine is 798cc! And we can cheerfully say it fits in. What the BMW conveys is the feel and ride of large capacity bike with...

Headlight Protector.

 

In answer to the concerns of 'Hedgehog5', I have fitted a Ventura clear headlight protector to mine. It didn't cost much (can't remember how much but it was less than £30 I think), and you don't even notice it's there to look at. In view of a replacement unit costing £240 I would strongly recommend one! ;-)

F800R Test Ride

I would agree with owensi comments. The bike supplied by Park Lane was snatchy and lurchy, this was on a dead still throttle. The gearing seemed high, so to smooth things out I was slipping the clutch around Marble Arch. Open the throttle below 2,500 and predetonation (pinking) occured,very noisy. It even back fired. Pity as the bike ticked all by requirements as a motorcycle trainer. Are they all like this? It was a pleasure to get back on an ER5 to go home.

Jerkiness

Chaps, I've got an F800R Chris Pfeiffer Edition and I wouldn't say the throttle is that bad, try riding a KTM Superduke if you think that's aggressive.  It's like every new bike, you ride it differently, you can't compare it to a 4 cylinder like a Z750!
