2013 BMW F 800 GT
A fully faired successor to the F 800 ST as BMW sets about beefing up its sport touring arsenal using its punchy parallel twinBMW Motorrad has a new bike in its line-up – the F 800 GT. Boasting five more horsepower than the bike it replaces, the F 800 ST, the belt-driven F 800 GT has a full fairing for optimised weather protection, improved ergonomics, and improved luggage efficacy in true “Gran Turismo” style.
In line with BMW’s new blanket policy across all its models, anti-lock braking is standard, and options include traction control and electronic suspension adjustment.
Other technical highlights include:
- New, lighter wheels in dynamic design
- Enhanced seating comfort for rider and passenger
- New handlebar switch panels and front brake fluid expansion tank
- New vibration-free and double-butted aluminium handlebars
- Cockpit with new dial faces for speedometer and engine speed display as well as an extended range of information
- Load capacity increased by 11kg to 207kg
- New exhaust system with optimised heel protection
- Newly developed luggage system (special accessory)
- New connection of BMW Motorrad Navigator IV to handlebar clamp (special accessory)
The new F 800 GT can also be fitted with an Akrapovic sports silencer. Crafted from titanium and stainless steel, it’s 1.7kg lighter than the standard silencer.
The F 800 GT is expected to arrive late in the first quarter of 2013, with pricing still to be announced.
