2025 BMW F800GS Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

The BMW Motorrad ConnectedRide Navigator
Find experiences, not just the way: our ConnectedRide Navigator
With the ConnectedRide Navigator, you have all important vehicle and traffic information at a glance while riding. Regular map updates ensure that you reach every destination. The robust hardware can handle just about anything. With the BMW Motorrad Connected app, you can also integrate your smartphone and its functions.

More power, more joy
Pure riding pleasure on every route. The new parallel-twin engine of the F 800 GS offers more peak power with an improved torque curve. Thanks to the optimised power curve, the F 800 GS reaches its peak power of 64 kW (87 hp) at 6,750 rpm earlier, with a simultaneously increased maximum torque curve of 91 Nm at 6,750 rpm.

Light white solid paint
The F 800 GS embodies effortlessness and dynamism. This is mainly down to its light-coloured trim panel in Light white solid paint and its striking black-blue seat, with GS embroidery and black handlebars.

Sport
Sporty through and through: the F 800 GS Sport in the Racing blue metallic colour is a dynamic variant. The seat in black/red with embroidery provides a great contrast to the light-coloured radiator cowls in Light white solid paint and the silver handlebars.

Triple Back
Blackstorm metallic emphasises the bike's contours and perfectly matches the F 800 GS Triple Black lust for adventure. The radiator cowls in Mineral grey metallic matt and the seat in black/grey, including GS embroidery emphasise the look.

Dynamics package
With the dynamics package, you get improved safety and sportiness at the same time. It includes the riding modes Pro, which allows you to select the riding mode to suit your situation. The shift assistant Pro gives you even more control in unexpected situations. With the dynamic ESA, the suspension is automatically damped, and you can determine how intensive the contact between the tyres and the ground should be.

Comfort package
The perfect package for those who like it comfortable. Thanks to Keyless Ride, the keys stay in your pocket. The electronic cruise control keeps your riding speed constant. With the luggage rack, you can easily secure your topcase. The navigation preparation with holder and Mount Cradle for the instrument cluster integrates the BMW ConnectedRide Navigator neatly into the cockpit and thus into the rider’s direct field of view. In addition, the M Endurance chain ensures less maintenance on the rear wheel.

Touring Package: Headlight Pro, heated grips and hand protection become part of the Touring Package.
