BMW revises the F 800 R roadster and sports touring F800 GT age

BMW revises the F 800 R roadster and sports touring F800 GT with ride-by-wire throttle, riding modes, new dials and more options.

The updated models were unveiled at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan alongside the new G 310 GS and nineT Urban G/S, updated R 1200 GS and K 1600 GTL with reverse, as well as their ConnectedRide technologies.

The parallel twin has been updated to meet strict Euro 4 pollution laws but doesn’t lose any power.

Instead, they have given the rider more control with fly-by-wire throttle  and Rain and Road modes as standard.

You can also option it up with Dynamic mode for a sportier response, and higher bars and wheels on the R.

Styling has had a subtle touch-up with a new model galvanised-look inscription on the windshield , new colours and a newly designed end piece on the standard muffler exhaust tailpipe.
