It's now easier than ever to ride a BMW

In spring of this year BMW Motorrad UK launched two new F800 S sports
middleweight models to a fanfare of praise from the motorcycle media: "an
excellent motorcycle", "brilliantly entertaining" and "torquey and sweet
handling" were among the positive press comments following their first rides.
Now that this bike is on sale to the public, BMW Financial Services has
released details of a new finance package and fully comprehensive insurance
offer that will bring the new F800S within the reach of many riders.

The 798 cc belt-driven motorcycle so highly recommended by the experts is now
available in BMW Motorrad dealerships across the UK for just £5,995 on the
road. The sporty, half-faired F800 S offers something for everyone, from
commuters to sports riders and even those starting out in biking. The emphasis
is on serious fun and with an impressive 85 hp, a punchy 63lb/ft of torque and
an incredibly low dry weight of 182kg, this sporty parallel twin will not
disappoint.

BMW Financial Services has put together a finance package for the F800 S that
enables customers to ride this new motorcycle from as little as £99 per month
(please note F800ST is excluded from this offer.) What's more, BMW Motorrad
Insurance is offering a fully comprehensive plan at a great premium. See below
