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 a été lancée en 2008 en tant que véhicule de tourisme d'aventure de taille moyenne, se situant en dessous de l'emblématique R 1200 GS et ciblant les conducteurs à la recherche d'une machine tout-terrain plus légère et plus agile. Il a été construit sur la plate-forme à deux cylindres parallèles de la série F de BMW et a fait l'objet d'une importante mise à jour en 2013 avec une ergonomie révisée, une capacité du réservoir de carburant accrue et une suspension améliorée. Le modèle a finalement été remplacé par les F 750 GS et F 850 GS en 2018, mais il a acquis une solide réputation pour ses performances polyvalentes sur route et hors route et son caractère accessible.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
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.
Générations et spécifications par année
Lancement original avec un bicylindre parallèle de 798 cm3, 85 ch, des roues à rayons métalliques, une suspension de base et un style d'aventure classique.
"Le vélo d'aventure qui a fait ses preuves pour les poids moyens."
J'ai parcouru 22 000 km sur une première F800GS en deux saisons, y compris une course sur gravier dans les Balkans, et ce bicylindre parallèle m'a vraiment surpris : il tire fort dès 3 500 tr/min, a un son mécanique et une détermination sans faille, et je n'ai jamais eu l'impression d'être en sous-puissance dans les cols de montagne. Les roues à rayons métalliques et l'avant de 21 pouces lui confèrent une véritable crédibilité tout-terrain que la R1200GS ne peut honnêtement égaler sur un terrain escarpé et rocheux ; une masse plus légère fait une différence mesurable lorsque vous vous battez debout sur du schiste meuble. Cela dit, la suspension de base est le talon d'Achille : les fourches plongent mal en cas de freinage brusque et s'enfoncent dans le bois sur des pistes ondulées, et sans ESA, vous devez vous arrêter pour vous ajuster manuellement à chaque changement de terrain. L'emplacement du réservoir de carburant est l'autre particularité : le réservoir surbaissé situé derrière le moteur permet de bien centrer le poids tout en limitant l'autonomie à environ 250 km avant de partir à la recherche d'une station.
Pros
Les inconvénients
Style révisé, ergonomie améliorée, suspension mise à jour, nouvelles options de couleurs, protection contre le vent améliorée et améliorations mineures du moteur.
Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"The honest adventurer's BMW — less ego, more actual riding."
$5,500-$9,500 usedThe 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.
