F800R ... new for 2009

BMW'S NEW F800R has been snapped on the road.

The new model BMW F800R uses the same 85bhp 798cc parallel twin as the BMW F800S and F800GS and the non-symmetrical lights from the bigger, butcher and arguably more masculine K1300R.

It makes around 85bhp, 63lbft and weighs 199kg. It'll be available in Orange, Silver or Blue and should be in UK dealers from May 2009.

To keep  costs down in these tough economical times BMW's design team are working in  a reduced light basement utalising obsolete and recycled parts.Thier  latest creation was inspired after watching Mad Max and visiting various Albanian salvage merchants.
