BMW MOTORRAD PRESS KIT: THE NEW BMW F 800 GS
Wed Nov 07 17:00:00 CET 2007 Press Kit
With the completely new enduro model, the F 800 GS, BMW Motorrad is not only expanding its range of products available, but also presenting a worthy successor to the totally successful F 650 GS with its single-cylinder engine. Even when it's parked, the amazingly offroad-capable F 800 GS adventure-tourer, with its sturdy appearance and long spring travel, indicates what it can do off-road. The signals it gives off are clear yet diverse: fun driving on all types of road, and stamina on journeys even when the destination can only be reached by gravel tracks.

Concept, claim and characteristics.
With the completely new enduro model, the F 800 GS, BMW Motorrad is not only
expanding its range of products available, but also presenting a worthy
successor to the totally successful F 650 GS with its single-cylinder engine.
Even when it's parked, the amazingly offroad-capable F 800 GS adventure-tourer,
with its sturdy appearance and long spring travel, indicates what it can do
off-road. The signals it gives off are clear yet diverse: fun driving on all
types of road, and stamina on journeys even when the destination can only be
reached by gravel tracks.
A high level of stability combined with playful handling are features of the
new F 800 GS, as is high-quality workmanship, a strong chassis and impressive
engine performance for maximum riding enjoyment.
The inline two-cylinder engine comes from the well-known F 800 model series,
but beyond this, the enduro model has been completely redesigned. A completely
new frame and new wheel suspension with new spring-shock absorber elements are
used, for example, which will surpass the expectations of even the most
demanding enduro riders. The belt drive and single-strut swing arm, which are
ideal for pure on-road use, have been replaced by a light chain drive, which,
in combination with a very stable, attractive aluminum profile double-strut
swing arm, offers particular advantages in offroad riding in particular. The
new GS is thus not only in its element on roads - it will also always find a
way through off-road too.
The F 800 GS combines road and touring capabilities with superior offroad
characteristics. It thus combines the two worlds in a way that has never before
been achieved in this class and offers the maximum possible freedom in terms of
its areas of use. BMW Motorrad has positioned the dynamic adventure-tourer at
an attractive price, thus adding a real asset to the market.
