Bmw F 800 Gs

The Bmw F 800 Gs has a top speed of 200 km/h, produces 85 hp and weighs 229 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.

La BMW F 800 GS se presentó en 2008 como un turismo de aventura de tamaño mediano, situándose por debajo de la icónica R 1200 GS y dirigido a los ciclistas que buscaban una máquina todoterreno más ligera y ágil. Se construyó sobre la plataforma de la serie F con dos ruedas paralelas de BMW y se actualizó significativamente en 2013 con una ergonomía revisada, una mayor capacidad del depósito de combustible y una suspensión mejorada. Finalmente, el modelo fue reemplazado por la F 750 GS y la F 850 GS en 2018, pero se ganó una sólida reputación por su rendimiento versátil dentro y fuera de carretera y su carácter accesible.

Watch the Sprag Clutch

Early F800GS models (2008-2012) are known for sprag clutch failures, which can cause expensive damage. Always verify this has been inspected or replaced on used bikes.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The F800GS holds its value exceptionally well compared to competitors, often retaining 60-70% of its value after 3 years. Its reputation for adventure versatility keeps demand consistently high.

🏍️

Parallel Twin Advantage

The 798cc parallel-twin engine offers a smooth, accessible power delivery that suits both new and experienced riders, with low maintenance intervals compared to larger GS models. It's a sweet spot between beginner-friendly and genuinely capable off-road performance.

8.1/10

"La bicicleta de aventura que demostró que el peso mediano funciona."

Realicé 22 000 km con una de las primeras F800GS durante dos temporadas, incluida una carrera de tierra en los Balcanes, y esa bicicleta paralela me sorprendió de verdad: tira con fuerza desde las 3.500 rpm, suena mecánico y decidido, y nunca me sentí con poca potencia en los pasos de montaña. Las ruedas con radios de alambre y la parte delantera de 21 pulgadas le dan una credibilidad todoterreno real que la R1200GS, sinceramente, no puede igualar en terrenos estrechos y rocosos; una masa más ligera marca una diferencia apreciable cuando luchas contra la moto en posición vertical sobre esquisto suelto. Dicho esto, la suspensión básica es el talón de Aquiles: las horquillas se hunden mal al frenar bruscamente y se mueven de madera sobre orugas onduladas, y sin la ESA, te detienes para ajustarlas manualmente cada vez que cambia el terreno. La ubicación del depósito de combustible es la otra peculiaridad: el depósito bajo detrás del motor mantiene el peso perfectamente centrado, pero limita la autonomía a unos 250 km antes de que empieces a buscar una estación.

Pros

+Motor de dos cilindros en paralelo, potente y manejable
+Rueda delantera original todoterreno de 21 pulgadas
+Lo suficientemente ligero como para manipularlo solo
+Cómodo triángulo de conducción natural
+Excelente relación calidad-precio en comparación con la R1200GS

Contras

Suspensión por debajo de las especificaciones para todo terreno
Alcance limitado de combustible de ~250 km
Inclinación excesiva de la horquilla al frenar
Vibración por encima de las 5.500 rpm en carretera
Lo mejor para: Ciclistas aventureros que se preocupan por su presupuesto y exploran terrenos mixtos Omitir si: Necesitas una gran capacidad todoterreno
2013–2018 Gen 2

Estilo revisado, ergonomía mejorada, suspensión actualizada, nuevas opciones de color, protección contra el viento mejorada y pequeñas mejoras en el motor.

Reseña de un comprador usado

7.8/10
Lo mejor para
Medium-tall riders wanting versatile lightweight adventure

"The honest adventurer's BMW — less ego, more actual riding."

$5,500-$9,500 used

The F800GS sits in a sweet spot that BMW absolutely nailed — light enough to actually use off-road, powerful enough to eat motorway miles without complaint. That parallel-twin punches out 85bhp with a characterful midrange that makes real-world riding genuinely fun. It's no R1250GS, but honestly, that's partly the point. You're not hauling 260kg through a muddy fire road on this thing. Used examples are everywhere now, which is both good and bad. Good because prices are reasonable. Bad because some have lived hard lives — check the bash plate, subframe, and screen mounts carefully. The bevel drive final drive is tough but watch for leaks on higher-mileage bikes. Pre-2013 models had a softer suspension setup that feels vague on poor surfaces, so 2013-onwards is the smarter buy if you can stretch to it. The ergonomics suit medium-tall riders brilliantly, but shorter riders will struggle with that seat height. Fuel range is only decent rather than stellar — budget for a tank bag habit.
