The F 800 S is the new two-cylinder BMW mid-range machine. The new F 800s design combines the benefits of a BMW machine with a new form of sportiness and long-distance comfort at a price that cannot be beaten. The slim frame emphasises the compact technical package and creates an optical impression of lightness. Completely new elements such as a single-sided swing arm with opening in the rear wheel housing and a belt drive were combined with well-established characteristic BMW design features and innovative technical solutions such as asymmetric headlights.
