A vehicle can be much more desirable when it is featured in a popular culture such as a movie or a TV series. Take for example the Chevrolet Camaro that is featured in the Transformers movie. It has make the car memorable and desirable. It could the same to any motorcycle featured in any movie or TV series too.
I have ‘accidently’ watched a Korean TV series, King of Drama, and suddenly stuck to the seat when I got to see the beautiful bike of the BMW make. I keep watching the bike to find what model the bike is and found out that it is BMW F 800 R. The headlight is unmistakenly BMW that shows one big right headlight and one small left headlight. This particular model from 2011 is ‘pure’ in terms of the design direction where it is still conventionally BMW.
It got 798cc engine with parallel twin configuration 4-valve setup churning out 87hp at 8,000RPM and 86Nm of torque at 6,000RPM. This engine gives excellent pulling power and quick response with high fuel-efficiency to boot.
Check out the official words from BMW:
Since its market launch in May 2009, the BMW F 800 R has provided impressive agility, sporty performance figures and light-footed handling combined with very low fuel consumption. In time for the start of 2012, the small BMW Motorrad roadster is to be given a visual makeover. Technically speaking, the new F 800 R will retain its well proven concept.
The engine is still the liquid-cooled parallel twin with 4-valve technology and a capacity of 798 cc. The highly distinctive engine provides impressive pulling power, a spontaneous response and a low level of fuel consumption. The engine output is 64 kW/87 bhp at 8000 rpm, producing a torque of 86 Nm at 6000 rpm.
Even more than before, the sporty flair and agility of the BMW F 800 R is now reflected in its highly dynamic design. The front side trim sections have been redesigned. They also serve as radiator covers and are now finished in body colour, as are the front mudguards. What is more, the spring of the rear spring strut is finished in red to highlight the sporty character of this naked bike. The Sport windshield finished in body colour and the white direction indicators are now part of the standard equipment of the new F 800 R.
The new BMW F 800 R is available in three colour combinations. While Alpine white/Black satin gloss stands for uncompromising dynamic performance, Magma red/White aluminium metallic matt is sporty and provocative in style. Meanwhile Mineral silver metallic gives the new F 800 R a refined, technological touch.
I saw BMW motorcycle in Korean movie too the name is “Quick”
