BMW Motorrad Malaysia has a couple of affordable 800cc bikes to be offered to the riders in Malaysia. The one that is very interesting is the BMW F 800 R that comes with liquid-cooled parallel twin with a capacity of 798 cc, 4-valve technology, DOHC engine that can maxes out 87bhp at low range of 8,000 RPM. The torque is rated at 86Nm @ 6,000 RPM. One particular distintive feature for a BMW naked/tourer bike is the use of dual size headlamp that looks different that other bike that we can see in the market but also a recognisable feature of the BMW bikes. The F 800 R is particularly interesting not because of the specs and quality of the bike only, but because this F 800 R is priced at RM46,888 (OTR excluding insurance). This level of price has never being thought of for a bike from BMW that is in 800cc category. Almost anyone in the market for a 700cc-800cc naked/tourer bike can fit this in their shopping list.  2-2013-BMW-F800GS-001One model that is available in Malaysia is the F 800 GS. It comes with the same engine but in different styling. GS stands for Gelände / straße which means off-road/on-road (by BMW Motorrad Malaysia page). So this F 800 GS can easily be taken for an urban ride or for a more tricky road somewhere other bikes can’t go. The F 800 GS is priced at a little higher that the R at RM59,888 (OTR excluding insurance). Is this the bike you will consider for 800cc category?
