Motorcycle specifications BMWF 800 GS 2017 Plus opti-mixte

has it waited for this Euro4 pretext to offer 'Driving Modes'? Or has it taken advantage? In any case, the F 800 GS was barely overhauled yesterday, and today the manufacturer is at it again. A few tweaks to the engine, exhaust and reflectors, and 3 kilos more of weight, make it Euro4-compliant. In use, the rider can now benefit from the standard 'Road' riding mode, for a standard, playful ride, and the 'Rain' mode, for a more flowing response, adapted to soaking wet roads.
As an option, this half-road/half-road trail can be enhanced with 'Pro Steering Modes'. An 'Enduro' program calibrates the ABS - ASC traction control duo for gentle TT outings with road tires, and the throttle response is set to cool. The 'Enduro Pro' mode deactivates ABS on the rear wheel, doses engine response optimally and sets ABS and ASC for knobby tires.
The instrument panel dials have been slightly revised, while the digital window now includes an engine trouble indicator.
The interesting 'Trophy' trim level includes a number of features that will be appreciated by both everyday and long-distance adventurers. We'll pass quickly over the scent of red and the GS Trophy stickers. Instead, let's take a look at the large-format hand guards, aluminum engine cowling, roll bar and center stand.

yesterday. When you think of a BMW trail bike, the R 1200 GS is the obvious choice. However, there's another bike in the range that also thinks of trails and mopeds, without the 1200's enormous size: the F 800 GS. Perhaps it was a desire to get out of the shadows that led it to spruce up its face in 2016. Or rather, the shoulders. A galvanic deposit adds a metallic sheen to the radiator caps. Reminiscent of the 2008 R 1200 GS.
The top of the fuel tank is restyled, while the seat becomes two-tone. Above all, with four variants on offer and the optional lowering kit, buyers are presented with a choice of five seat heights. The height starts at 820 mm and peaks at 920 mm. Equipment may vary according to the colors chosen.

the engine remains unchanged, as does the chassis. The 798 cm3 parallel-twin still delivers 85 horsepower with gusto. As an option, it can be limited to 48 hp for European license holders. Like the 700, the 800 comes with ABS as standard. A dual-channel model, it can be disconnected when driving off-road.
For as long as the German brand has been testing a host of innovations, these are no longer reserved for the top of the range. This F 800 GS can be fitted (as an option) with ASC traction control and ESA pilot-controlled suspension. This gives you two co-pilots of choice: the first regulates rear-wheel drive; the second adjusts your suspension according to the chosen mode (Comfort - Normal - Sport).
