BMW most recently struck out on a new path in the segment of medium category
motorcycles with the F 800 series launched in 2006. In addition to the sporty F
800 S, the first model variation to be presented, and the F 800 ST with its
touring capabilities, the fourth BMW Motorrad engine series was supplemented in
2007 with the F 800 GS and the F 650 GS - two dynamic enduro models in the very
best BMW GS tradition.
With the new F 800 R, BMW now takes the logical step of expanding the F 800
model series further by presenting at the EICMA 2008 - the Milan motorcycle
show - a sporty roadster in the segment of medium category naked bikes designed
for a high level of riding dynamics and maximum riding fun. Alongside the two
roadsters R 1200 R and K 1300 R, this is now the third BMW roadster to see its
world premiere in the BMW Urban world of experience: the new F 800 R, the
dynamic BMW naked bike for the medium category.
