Some caption in the video says the bike has semi-active suspension. It has not. Sorry, I did bad research work here. Its suspension is just electronically adjustable. But apparently not semi-active. Thanks to 'The Stonegate Roadrunner' for pointing it out.

Regarding the 'girls bike' statement: if you fail to see how this BMW could possibly be considered as 'girls bike', don't you worry. Because it really isn't. In reality it's a bike made for ANYONE who enjoys a well-handling and forgiving bike which makes it rather simple to go fast. But you'd still be amazed to find out that at least here in Austria not just a few gents out there still would laugh at it. And probably call it something like "not a proper bike". Especially people on +150bhp bikes who like to speed on straights and take corners with 3° of lean angle tend to do so. Simply because their egos can't tolerate the fact of owning a bike which doesn't make head turns just because of looks or showing impressive numbers on paper. And the fact that those kind of people tend to characterise a bike which is easy to ride as "a bike for girls" basically perfectly shows you what kind of primitive morons they must be. Oh how I would love to see those knobheads getting their ass kicked by a girl on a BMW F 800 R :)

I have to say in my eyes this bike hits a sweet spot. It has just the right amount of power to be massively entertaining on the open road. It doesn't immediately kick you into those completely bonkers realms of insane speeds where licenses are lost. But as long as the straight bits aren't too long still one would be very hard to catch. Similar to one of my all time favourites, the Street Triple R, the F 800 R offers this great compromise between power, weight and stability. It's powerful enough for street riding, it's lightweight enough to be thrown into corners, while still offering enough of confidence inspiring stability. I'd only need a decent Akrapovic pipe on it to be almost 100% satisfied. If you're looking for a modern bike which is good for proper hooning AND for touring around while remaining somewhat affordable at the same time this beemer might be a great option for you. Personally I'd still take the Street Triple though. Because I simply love the small three cylinder engine from Triumph way too much. Even more than parallel twins!

A very underrated bike if you ask me! Please make sure to read the description before you share your opinion.
Yes but the problem of this bike is that shitty sound... Near an MT07 or a sv650 that sound like a Tmax
Good video as always =)
Chrikd mine is arkaprovic without catalizer and no dB killer = quad-enduro sound @ low revs and typical boxer sound @ higher revs. and some fireworks when deaccelerating. with or without catalizer doesn’t make a difference to sound. just good for an extra 0.001 hp 😛 ( BMW F800s vs kawasaki Z750 - RUclips )
***** Sry but for me a twin sounds much better
F800 is a parallel twin rotax engine.... with the same fire cycling (360) of a boxer. The yamaha mt07 has a 270 degree firing cycle. The best sound to me is the triumph daytona 675 tripple and a moto guzzi V-twin engine.
Agree with the V Twin sound of the SV650, but the MT07??? Even with the Akrapovic titanium it sounds like a Mixer, imho the worst sounding bike in it´s class
The 800R is a mixture of comfort and power, it can go on the road and accelerate very well and at the same time be very docile in the city, this duality is its greatest attribute. If you compare it with other medium bikes like the monster 821, the street triple or the mt 09 clearly can not keep pace with them in acceleration, however my main use for this bike is the city everyday and for this is really agile and comfortable. So if you want a comfty ride in the city with a more than decent road behavior, this is the one.
yes that sums it up quite well
You are forgetting one point, the rider makes hell of a difference I’ve been able to keep up with bigger bikes without any issues.
I agree with your comments about 'girls bikes'. It is often better to ride a bike that is easy to handle as you can be relaxed and concentrate on the important things like getting your lines right. I had a Gladius for a while as a winter bike. Cheap as chips to buy as nobody wanted a 'girls bike' It handled brilliantly and the power was smooth and easy to manage. My mates took the piss of course… until they saw how quick it was.
There was a guy in our group who had an F800R. Nobody could catch him! And he used less fuel than all of us!!
Exactly. The Gladius is just another proper fast option for standard roads. But people who prefer impressive specs sheets will never understand. All my skills and confidence is coming from riding a "girls bike" (CB500) for such a long time
That was heaps of fun to watch.
I did a 450km alpine region run recently with a mate of mine on my stock 2012 and had very little issue keeping close to his 121kw 2018 street triple rs. Straight line speed is no contest between the 2 bikes, his Triumph just has too much power to catch (almost double the kW of the BMW) but through the twisties the F800R with it's greater torque meant I was tight on his back wheel the entire time. Incredibly underrated bike and on a twisty road one of the most fun bikes I've owned (R1,ZX10R, 996, monster)
nice!!
I think the F800R is very underrated indeed - that was a great video, thank you. In fact I'm considering one for my next bike, as I like the middleweight naked category and this one's got a lot of nice things about it. Marvelous scenery here, as well! Earned yourself another subscriber.
Welcome!!!
Habe schon den ganzen Abend gewartet, dass der Upload fertig ist. :D
freut mich :)
Really appriciate the vids mate helps me decide what looks good to go and test and evidently fall in love with. great vids keep it up!
thanks a lot!
Great vid. I used to have a Husqvarna Nuda, very very similar, and now that the Nuda is no longer being made (a tragedy) I'm looking at the F800R as a next bike. I've had the fast Japanese 4 pots, had a Triumph Street Triple R, but the torque and upright riding position that these twins provide are just perfect for the real world. Can ride them all day, as fast as anything else out there on a rural road, comfortable and there isn't any frantic revving of the engine to get in the power band, it's the torque that does the work. They suit me, they would probably suit a lot more people if they gave them a try.
it's definitely a very enjoyable ride
Really nice footage, video quality and sound. I think it convinced me to change my cb500f for an f800r, great looks, easy to ride and fun that's all I seek, plus, nice sound for a stock exhaust !
thank you! Yes that would be a great update indeed in my opinion!
I just finished what for me is my best ride in this bike (I bought this bike less than 1 year ago) with friends and honestly this bike transmitted a lot of security into me, evens allowing some mistakes and preventing things going worse (it has saved me from going to the ground twice already) and my friends liked a lot how it sounded and the fact I drove so well into corners, thank you for the video, because it is the one that made buy my f800r 2018
nice!
I got this bike a year ago as my first proper introduction to a bigger motorcycle from a 600 and I can say that this is a very quick bike if you know how to tame it, the engine doesn't like a lot of revs as it vibrates like a Californian earth quake above 5000rpm. The transmission I found was incredibly smooth and seems to like short shifting up unless you're on a straight. This is probably a bike that would lack power on a straight but has the torque and handling to make a supersport look like a sport tourer on a country road. Fuel wise it's alright but I'm not planning on travelling to the moon with it and the fuel tank being located at the back adds an interesting dynamic as a lot of the weight is over the rear wheel vs usually being centred like on a normal motorcycle so with cornering it tends to understeer a bit I have noticed, though this isn't the end of the world and you can correct this by changing you're throttle input and being more conservative with it on approach and in a corner. All in all I was impressed by the brakes on this bike as they seem to inspire confidence and they would need to be good considering most of the weight is rear ward on this bike. All in all this is a very good bike and in the right hands as with any motorcycle it can be very quick I just wish the right hands were my own 😃
Thanks for sharing some insights :)
My dad had one of these a few years back and I've enjoyed the passenger seat quite a few times. It surely is very stable but still "incredibly nimble" (at least compared to the R1100 R he had before). A good bike wich can do everything, including riding fast-ish with two fully grown men onboard :)
yes exactly!!
i got the exact same bike ! and i'm really enjoying it ! also, i went on a R1200R during the service of my F800R, and going back on it after makes me feel like the F800R is a little mosquito, extremely agile and powerful enough for it's weight. R1200R is a beast ! it push and push again, i love to say about the R1200R that "she's good in everything but doesnt' excell in any sides" meanwhile, my F800R is the queen of the city ! agile, light enough, poweful enough, certainly not good in everything, but she excell in this mid-range power class, and by the way in the "city roadster" class !
I use her everyday to go to work and back, and for some rides during the weekend, was never disappointed ! Even a friend of mine who's an owner of a Street Triple was impressed by the tempo i gave with the F800R, probably because this bike gives you enough confidence to push it far in her limits...
Ride Safe !
awesome!! I can 100% agree!! Thanks for sharing!
Nice video, Schaaf! 🤘🏻 I test rode a F800R last year, and I liked it. Compared to the other 800cc motorcycles, the engine doesn't feel very powerful, but the handling, the brakes, and the build quality are amazing. It's a great bike for an everyday use. In France, it isn't considered as a "girls bike", the Suzuki Gladius has this "reputation", mainly because of its blue/white paint...
I'm pretty sure the "experts" around here would call the Gladius girly too xD Thank you Kiddo!
I've owned the previous version of this bike for 3 years now, taken it to the track a few times and have not been close to riding to its limits. Very solid bike for starters or someone that wants to get back into motorcycling. The best exhaust for this is the SC Project ;)
good to know! Thanks!
A quick glimpse of the bike before the ride would be great! Beautiful video as usual ✌
yup, thanks
I was waiting for your review of f800r, i have this bike (MY 13) and I love it for it's weight, agility and handling.
Thanks for this test drive, very honest and complete! Hope someday meet you on Dolomites with your CB500!
Ciao from Italy :)
Servus from Vienna!! Thanks for the comment!
This made me very moist. Seeing you ride took me back to when I had mine. Glad you liked it and glad you could see what the bike had to offfer and how good it is without scaring the pants off you. Also good seeing that you're relatively on pace with me
thank you Goose!!
Another great video. We are of the same mind on bike choice. I started riding on a CBR600f3 (2 years) then a cbr954rr then I bought a Suzuki Gs500 for $800. Riding the GS500 made me realize how much faster I could have become a better rider and for so much less money than riding a 1000cc sport bike. Not to mention that the 500 was fun to ride going the speed limit, while my 954 was only fun at +40 over the speed limit or while riding wheelies.
awesome man!!
Brilliant video. Recent owner of a 2018 f800r, splendid machine👍😎
Nice!
Es ist mega wenn man dir zuschaut und genau sieht wie du die kurven liest. Da kann man so viel lernen vorallem als fahranfänger 👍
freut mich!
Liked it a lot! The exhaust sound is very good, is it the oem?
Some good points made here.It is easy to ride and you don't have to rev it hard[as in the video] as being a twin, it produces useful power from about 3000 rpm. A bit of buzz/vibration between 5-6000 rpm, but not too nasty. I have got 450km from a tank riding conservatively, which is useful in the south Island of NZ where Gas stations can be sparse.It is light, great brakes , and handling, flexible engine that has been used by several manufacturers and is well proven.I have encountered a bit of snobbery from BMW flat twin owners [It is a Rotax engine].There is a lot of fun to be had from a mid -sized engine in a light bike on twisty, hilly roads .Bigger is not always better on NZ roads.
thanks for sharing your opinion! Soon I'll be testing the new 900 model :)
I have a 14 years old F800R with 34000 miles on the clock. Runs like a dream, easy to service, confidence inspiring, and the perfect "big bike" commuter. It's a keeper!
Nice!
Damn dude you are a weapon on two wheels! Keep up the awesome videos and stay safe!
Thanks
You ride like a beast! haha... Love your videos... I bought this bike in October last year, loving it
congrats on the bike! Thanks
thanks for the video. I'm new to motorcycle. considering to buy this one. for entry level price comfort easy control and also speed. what a great combination.
thanks for the comment!
I really like the look of the F800R - especially with the F800GS headlight. It looks a bit.. special ;)
Lookwise this is my dream bike after I have done my 2 years with 48hp on my Kawasaki ER-5. (Germany).
Great video, keep it up! :)
Yes I like the look of the older models more as well!! Thank you!
Dat scenery!
And amazing riding as always! =D
thank you Filip!
Doing Good work in the twisties with that bike mate! Nice riding!
Thanks Tudor
You are a really good rider, I hope one day I can ride my bike like you!
just take your time and practice
Top, wie immer
danke, Alex!
Great video as always! Have you tried mt09/tracer/xsr900? I'm curious what you have to say about that bike.
thanks! Unfortunately not!
Pleas hold the comments loner on screen. I have to stop the vid to read :)
Most people don't read them that's why they're there for a rather short time. But I'll try to adapt.
I used to own the F800ST, really a great all round bike for touring without being overly heavy or underpowered with luggage.
yes!!!
awesome ride, beautiful pass
thanks man!
Just bought a 2010 F800R. Very excited to try it out, when the 2017 season begins! :)
awesome!! I wish you the best with it Lasse!!
Hi i wanna also buy an 2011 800r any comment on what ro check before buying?
Is it a low cost moto
Any help will be needed
Thanx
Nice video and good driving. Even though I find your style a bit more aggressive than I would feel comfortable with. But I am still a beginner. I also noticed that you persistently stayed on high rpm. Was that on purpose (if you can still remember)? The F800R is my first bike. I wanted something that was loaded with safety systems (particularily the ASC) but still had power. Under these prerequisites, BMW is a no brainer actually. ABS, ASC, Tire Pressure feedback, adjustable suspension. I was not disappointed. 2 years and I am still around. I really enjoy its handling and I always have a feeling of safety riding it. You are right that it tends to rise when braking on an angle, but this is a unique opportunity to learn to apply counter-steering. If I were to complain about something, it would be a sense of dullness, especially the exhaust (mine is also stock and doesn't sound as cool) and above all the amount of vibrations, especially on high rpm. In long rides it can become an issue. I also got to tour with it with a second person on, using a high windscreen, 48lt and ~10kg luggage and a tank bag. The handling was barely impacted by the extra weight but the vibrations battered me. I understand starting low on a first bike, but I am convinced that the F800R is solid and safe choice for beginners, and with it's power it can also accompany you on the next level.
thanks for the great input! I only rode at high rpms because I always wanted to be as close as possible to maximum available power
I went to watch amateur races at Loudon NH USA. Walking around the pits one guy had an older f800s (I think), it had a belt drive.
So I talked about it with him. He said he does loads of racing and he likes the 800 because it doesn't eat up the tires as much as the liter bikes so his costs for the season is much less.
He's not a front of the pack guy so he didn't care being on a less powerful bike especially since the track doesn't have a long straight.
He loved it he said and had a blast on it.
I said "had" because after talking to him he binned it on his next session unfortunately. It happens.
Ouch! Thanks for sharing the story!
Love this video!
Thanks John
Nice ride dude! You do make all bikes seem better than they probably are :)
From my chair the bike seemed really .... bouncy and unstable (not in a good way) ... certainly compared to your CB but also to the other test rides you've had this summer. Even the old Africa Twin looked more planted. I think the 800R only has it's rear suspension electronically controlled (ESA)? The front looks clasically analogue :)
yes only rear. But it's actually the opposite of bouncy and unstable. You can trust my captions ;)
it would be a good first bike,i love its design. Amazing edit to your speedometer though,i was almost sure it was real :P
yes, very long practice needed ;)
Have you ever riden an er6? I bet you would like it..I'm really curious what you would get out of it :))..great video,as always, by the way :D BIG UP!
very shortly. Yes, definitely a bike which suits my riding style!
Very fine vid!
thank you!!
My absolute dream bike. I’ll get one next spring ☺️
nice!!
Hallo Schaaf
Ich muss sagen deine Videos sind Top!!! Ich habe eine Honda CBF 500 A Jahrgang 2006 35K Kilometer. Habe sie erst seit kurzem bin aber völlig zufrieden (25 kw). Ich habe noch sehr Respekt vom in die Kurve legen und weiss noch nicht genau wie ich mich an das rantasten soll :'). Du hast deine Honda 500er voll unter Kontrolle respekt.
Mach weiter so geiler Channel!!!
vielen Dank!! Allzeit gute Fahrt!!
Bin auch eine CBF Fahrerin 😊 Mein Tipp ist ein Fahrsicherheitstraining absolvieren, mit einem Standard Training anfangen und danach ein Kurven- oder Rennstreckentraing. Du kannst dich nur auf dich und das Fahren konzentrieren + Feedback - besser geht nicht.
Having tried one it is a nice jack of all trades kind of bike. Sounds strangely a bit like there boxer engines. Sound quality is really good where was your mic?
there's a link to my recording method at the bottom of the description
Fahre die F seit 20.000 km, hab sie neu gekauft, alle Extras inclu. Ist ein hervorragendes Bike. Leistung im Solobetrieb auf Landstrasse ausreichend, wer schaltfaul oder viel zu zweit unterwegs ist, sollte sich nach die R1200R überlegen. Vorderrad rutscht mit den Metzeler Pneus schon mal, auch im trockenen. Ich hab das mit dem Wechsel auf Contis völlig abgestellt, seitdem super, kein einziger Rutscher mehr. Tolle Review, eizig das lesen der langen Texte find ich suboptimal, da wäre mir gesprochenes lieber. Grüsse !
Danke dir!!
Great Road & Great Mid-size Beemer!
Too bad about the traffic in the middle, but def load the return :)
RSMF
yea, the traffic was typical for August unfortunately! Thanks!
Hey Schaaf, loved this review!! Hope your doing good as well!...Out of curiosity how would you compare it to something like the KTM Duke 690? They’re not too far apart on the spec sheet and especially price but i know that doesn’t tell the entire story. Just keen to hear your views
the BMW is a lot more versatile
You’re awesome, really appreciate the fact that you always respond! Ride safe
looks great!
thanks
Great Video. Really made me want one of these bikes. Im in the market for a middle weight bike that would be comfortable to do some decent distances every now and then but also, good for commuting and fun to ride. Would you consider this to be better for 400-600km rides than the average middle weight nakedish bike? Was also considering the new suzuki sv650 but now sure how it would go for longer distances.
Thanks Angus! I'd actually say it feels a lot like your average middle weight naked bike because that's what it basically is. At least to my eyes. But it felt a lot more competitive than others. I'd recommend the BMW if you're looking for a sporty compromise.
Angus Irving I have one. I love it. I commute 120 miles round-trip per day on mine. mostly highway miles. It doesn't have quite the beans that a liter bike does but it makes up for it in handling. I meet up with all types of bikes on my ride and I have no issues keeping up with larger displacement bikes and I can out maneuver most others in traffic. Just a couple of days ago I was "aggressively negotiating" some heavy traffic with a guy on a CBR 1000rr and I was able to get ahead of him relatively easy because I was more nimble. On the strait away once traffic lightened up he pulled away from me....but I expected that and he should have with with about 80 more BHP than me.
I actually got one as a replacement bike and Ive kinda like it, even if im not a fan of the genre
nice!
Geile Strasse und spektakuläre Fahrt! Auch mal etwas näher zu mir.
Schöner Flow. Aber sieht teils nach etwas altem und zersetztem Belag aus. Ist es holprig dort?
danke dir! Ja, dort ist es stellenweise sehr holprig. Aber immer nur abschnittsweise. Aufm Motorrad stören mich die Holperstellen nicht, so lange guter Asphalt drüber liegt. Und das ist in fast ganz Südtirol der Fall. Und ich steh tatsächlich total auf das "gekünstelte Drama", dass diese Holperstellen gefühlt aufm Motorrad erzeugen :)
Very unusual sound for a parallel twin, almost reminds me of the sound of the BMW Boxer twins, and completely different from something like a ER6-n or FZ-07.
I'd love to explain it to you but I'm not good with technical stuff therefore I can't. Sorry :D
This has a 360 deg firing order. Makes it sound like a flat twin.
What exhaust system is on this bike? (Great vid by the way!😀 )
stock! Thanks
Hello Schaaf!
I'd like to ask you something. I had CB500 for 4 years, then FZS600 2 years, and now it's time for something new. I'm looking for a bike that is good for everyday commuting and could be good for sunday trips and some touring - once a year to Austrian Alps or Romanian Carpathian. Do you think that F800R is good for it? I thought of F800GS but I think it's a liitle bit too big and not handy in city. Other option is Yamaha FZ6, but there are plenty of them on the roads. So, what do you think about F800R as everyday comuter and holiday tourer?
for me there is no doubt that the F800R would be very well suited as commuter and tourer. It's comfortable and easy to ride :)
Nettes Maschinechen. Mein alter Kunstlehrer hatte eine f800 von 2013, hat immer ein Lächeln ins Gesicht gebracht wenner morgens zur Schule gedüst is..... ^^ Noch mehr Lächeln gibts allerdings bei nem Schaaf-Video in der Abobox! :D:D
haha, schön gesagt :D Bei mir in der Nachbarschaft steht auch eine F800R aus der Zeit rum. Mit Akrapovic. Ich freu mich auch immer sehr, wenn der Besitzer damit an meinem Haus vorbeirauscht :D
I had one of these in the F800ST guise, it was my first bike and was incredibly quick in real world conditions. I had a mate with a gixxer600 that unless he kept it constantly at 10k when you made overtakes the instant torque would embarrass supersport bikes! By time they pulled up and went by you had made pass and were settling back in.
I replaced it with a K1300s, and to some extent i miss not being able to wring the neck out of it and use every available horse power!
The only let down was the suspension being too soft.
Thanks for sharing!
Very nice, as always. If only our CB´s had more power... no reason to think about other bikes
true that! Danke!
Ich würde dich echt gern mal auf einer Supermoto kurven räubern sehen!! Bin gespannt ob sowas vllt nächstes jahr kommt, oder gibts davon schon videos?
Bist du schonmal supermoto gefahren?
Nur Dukes leider :/
Nice ride!
thanks
Do you think this bike can tour? Of course not for very long distances but for a trip now and then? Do you miss electronic aids? How is the riding position? I was between this and the f700gs, went for the gs but now I'm having second thoughts.
Love your videos btw. keep up
yes you absolutely can do trips with it since the seating position is rather upright and relaxed. This bike had traction control. The 700GS surely is the better bike for touring but the f800r would be better for quick road riding. It has a very competitive suspension setup
Thanks for the feedback
Enjoyed another episode of 'how to schaaf a bike'. I too wouldn't mind riding a 'girly' bike if this is it, but there is something about the esthetics of all BMW models ending with 'R" - to me they look all kind of experimental and incomplete, as if someone had a decent design and then decided to take away most of it. However this is coming from a person that honestly believes that 1100GS is one of the most beautiful bikes ever made. :)
well I also think this 2016 F 800 R isn't exactly beautiful. I think the older models looked better. But still not good. But I'm not the right man to talk about looks. I'm all about rideability :D Thanks mate!
I've ridden it for a couple of days.
Really nice bike, nothing wrong with it.
awesome!
does it have a quickshifter ?
and where i can buy it?
Wow , I'm thinking of getting one I my be in my 60s ,but I need this.
the F800R surely should be suited for more experienced gents too ;)
Would love to see you hoon on a KTM 1290 SDR
me too
If you ever come to Denmark, i be more then happy to let you ride my mt07. i would love to see you do a preview on the mt07 without all that luggage on.
wouldn't be this much of a difference I'm pretty sure ;)
ye i know . just want to see more with the mt07 :P
And what do you think about this vs a Speed Triple?
the Speed is much more powerful
Totally agree with you on what you wrote from 3:44 to 4:02! but I'd add that it doesn't matter as long as these people (that like to twist the throttle on pure straits and get scared as soon as a turn comes close, those who are a pain in the a** to overtake) don't get on our way mid-corner wise. When I'm enjoying some twisty road carrying some speed the things that scare me the most are:
- gravel, oil spils, wet spots...
- idiots on bikes who cut and invade my line
usually those disrespectful, clueless idiots are the reason why "spirited" riders have such a bad reputation. Also, they are responsible for many accidents that could easily have been avoided.
I have learned to ride fast and safe with a Suzuki GS500 and I'm so sad I have to sell it now, it's so fun and rewarding! I just love how light and agile it is, even with its wobbliness. Would have love to share some time with you and your Cb500.
Keep the good videos coming, cheers man!
thanks a lot, great comment! Yes exactly. We all should have fun. But please not on MY side of the road when you're actually going in the opposite direction ;) Going round corners to 'discover' another rider on the wrong side of the road happens way too often, especially on mountain roads. These people don't know their machines. They don't know their limits. And therefore shouldn't try to ride hard. Like you are saying they are the ones who're responsible for the bad reputation. I can understand why. On the other hand unfortunately only very few folk realize that spirited riding indeed is possible and even responsible in certain situations as long as the rider knows exactly about his capabilities. In my case for instance it must be a couple of years ago that I made such a grave mistake to get carried into the opposite lane unintentionally. The moment I realize I'm not able to correctly judge my capabilities any longer I'll stop the spirited riding.
It's not a semi active suspension. You can just preset the "Zugstufe" on the rear shock.
Still great.
Awesome riding as always!
yes I got that wrong, thanks man!
For everyone with the A2 license it’s also a very good bike with the power reduction to 48hp .You have enough power in every situation, but you can concentrate on the important things and enjoy the ride! I drive one by myself, mine is from 2014.
Nice!
Would this be a good bike for a beginner? Found a 2011 one for 3.7k love to look of it and seems to be great all around. Any insight would be appreciated
absolutely
Hey Schaaf, ersmal geile Videos auf dem Channel! xD
Ich fange bald mit meinem "A"-Führerschein an und überlege gerade welchen Motorrad soll ich danach kaufen. Nach zahlreichen Videos und Reviews habe ich bereits F800R, MT 07 und GSX S750 asugewählt (in die Frage kommen noch kawa versys 650, Z650 und CB650F, aber es ist schon ziemlich größe Auswahl, musste es mit der Zeit reduzieren xD). Darüber hinaus könntest Du mir bisschen weiterhelfen und ein paar Fragen beantworten?
1) Würdest Du behaupten, dass man mit dem F800R ein großes Tour machen könnte? Also ohne zu sterben ca. 3000km :D
2) Hast Du MT 07 oder GSX S750 gefahren? Falls ja, kannst Du bitte kurz diese 3 Modellen vergleichen? (Nach deiner Erfahrung und Gefühle).
Grüße und Danke im Voraus :)
1) Ja!
2) Ja! Ich würde die BMW bevorzugen
@@Schaaf danke! Wollte bereits für mt 07 entscheiden, bis ich diese Modell nicht getroffen habe xD
Hello. Do you think a f800r is a good bike for a noobie? I look at the g310r but everybody around me say that I will be bored very rapidly. This f800r looks a bit scary even thought I love it on paper...
I always recommend to start small. The 310 is a great choice for a beginner. If you want to do it properly and learn something you won't get bored
Was meinst du hier genau mit "unexpected front tilt" ( 6:50 ) ?
Die R bin ich mal ein Wochenende gefahren. Ein echt geiles Teil. Da muss allerdings definitiv ein anderer Endtopf sein, der originale Sound ist eher so "meh".
da hat das Vorderrad für einen kurzen Moment den Grip verloren. Führt in solch engen Kurven dann zum "einklappen" (tilt) des Vorderrads
Schaf I’ve been riding now for 60 days.. (new rider)
I purchased a 2008 Suzuki SV650 and was wondering if you have ridden one?
And you’re personal thoughts about the handling/power everything really
And how it compares with a bike such as this wonderful performer.
Thanks.
yea the SV650 is a wonderful bike and very good for the beginning. A bike like the F 800 R is more powerful and overall performs sportier
@@Schaaf thanks for the reply, funny how we are always looking down the road for our next bike.
Hey Schaaf, i have a question regarding gopro, when you use protune, do you use their color preset? Or do you fiddle around with colors in editing program? It looks so nice. PS: why not 60fps and rather 50? Thanks!
because in Europe we film in PAL resolutions. I'm used to do so because it's almost part of "film ethics" in the professional film world. I use the FLAT Colors in ProTune and definitely fiddle around in post :)
Oh i'm from europe too, we're neighbours actually... im czech :) Thanks for answering!
Dobrý den! :D
hehehe, only word i know in german is schnitzel :D
that's one of the most important ones though :D
I've read that this bike gets a lot of buzz at higher speeds. Did you find this to be the case? Thanks for the amazing video, BTW!
I didn't notice that in a disturbing or annoying way at all!! Thanks!
An aftermarket windscreen gets the job done. I have an F800R myself and I find it much more comforable with a higher windscreen. The high Wunderlich screen makes it comfortable even if you ride on the German Autobahn with 210 - 220 kph.
yeah it does. I owned a 2015 model for a year and the high frequency buzz on the bars at 80-95mph on motorways did my head in. even with with grip puppies on. Crap stock exhaust sound too. Good brakes, headlight, tyre pressure monitors, was stable, quite torquey, looked quite nice.
Sold it for a V-twin Yam XV950R with only 52hp but I much prefer it.
How is the handling compared to the z900?
sharper
Great riding! They lock you up for that kind of thing in Australia
too bad
Looks a great fun bike. I'd have one and I'm certainly not a girl. Great riding skills.
thanks
Wirklich nicht schlecht, also das Bike :D
durchaus
nices video!
frage: besteht die möglichkeit deine videos in 2k hochzuladen?
die Möglichkeit besteht dann, wenn sie in 2.7K aufgezeichnet wurden.
sprich mit deinem derzeitigen Kamera nicht möglich?
Doch. Aber Videos, die bereits in 1080 gefilmt wurden, die kann ich nicht mehr in 2K hochladen. Wobei, ich könnte sie künstlich hochskalieren, das würde sich aber nicht sehr viel bringen :)
Bist du schon mal die ktm 990 smr gefahren?
nein
I like my '13. Way more violent on the power and cornering- fun video though!
Thanks
Hello Schaaf, xsr 700(mt 07) and f800r wich one is better? For you opinion. the price is the almost same, 2cc similar hp and trq. But the handling, suspension, brakes, comfort? How is if compare?
the BMW is much sharper, more precise, more stable. The XSR is more comfortable.
Schaaf thx. And if compare to street triple?
my last ride on a Street Triple is too far away. I can't make a legit comparison here. But I'm guessing they are very similar in performance.
Thak you so much for answer) Do more test drive)
I'm a student and can't afford to ride more but I'm always trying my best
bougt one i had mutch heaver bikes with more power buth this power u can use and its funny af and handels + brakes great
Nice!
I'm a girl and I ride this bike, I really love it but the sound of the bike could be better🤔 I even did off road with the F800R! It's great when you start riding with this bike, you really feel comfortable and confident. I ride even if it's snowing or freezing outside and I never fall down. The system on this bike really saved my life a couple of times. As an owner of an F800R I can say that the bike is excellent on the road and the price is correct, but after you have to change something to repair something or something else on this bike...it costs a lot sometimes. Maybe it depends on the country.
Again if you are starting riding, this bike is awesome and you will feel confident and safe riding it! Enjoy and be careful on the road.😊🏍
Thanks a lot for the comment
Stunning, your command is brilliant.......but you are not going to ride my F800R.
Bin mit Meins CB1000R 3jahren ca.35000km gefahren das Moped ist super gelaufen, aber zu zwei mit meine Freundin ist nicht so fein (für sie;-)) jetzt habe F800R geholt weil ich deine Video an geschaut habe:-) ich hoffe das ist ein gute Entscheidung!😂
ziemlich sicher
BensMotoWorld Ich hoffe du hast Recht😁👍
BensMotoWorld genau💶💶💶😂
yeah, I know what this bike means, and I think also you, because I ride a er6n, very easy but at the same time it let you to enjoy every kind of ride; i believe that it is wrong consider a bike only for girls/boys, because every bike could be ridden by everyone
correttamente!
Tyrol Austria?
Alto Adige!
Very nice place. How are you Schaaf?
i like the bmw on paper i have a honda cbf 500 2016 sort of the same as youre honda same engine this is i think like the little honda but a step up same sort of engine ideal bike for daily use
Very nice ride. That engine sounds surprisingly good. Would you recommend this bike for a first bike for a 40 year old man?
it is not a popular opinion but still I always recommend to start small. Even though this BMW is quite simple to ride it's also quite sharp and powerful at the same time. I'd go for something lighter and less powerful
Is this bike good for a beginner ?
Get something less powerful
good sound for an inline 2
sounds a lot better with an Akrapovic!
Hat jemand Erfahrung zur Tankreichweite? Ich fahre immernoch meine CBF (aktuell 71tkm) und überlege umzusteigen. Bin aber leider recht kurz und die BMW könnte passen von der Sitzhöhe, auch wenn ich sie optisch nicht mag. Ich bin allerdings durch den 19l Tank der CBF verwöhnt und habe keine Lust ohne Reserve nur 200m zu schaffen.
dazu kann ich leider nichts sagen
~14lt tank -> ~300km
Αντωνόπουλος Γεώργιος Danke.
Nice riding, but... at 8:37 you said "The F800R has a rather strong tendency to stand up when using the front brake while cornering". Shouldn't you calculate your line before you enter the corner and brake adequately? If you need to make adjustments or settle the bike through the corner use the rear brake and roll the throttle accordingly. Not meant to be criticism... just constructive feedback.
As for the bike not "fall[ing] into lean by itself", this is the typical gyroscopic effect of your wheels spinning fast. The gyroscopic force preserves the momentum. If you're entering the corners fast be prepared to take the bull by the horns and counter-steer it through the corner. If you use the front brakes while cornering of course you stand the bike up (or low side it).
yes you should calculate the line before entering the corner indeed. But one doesn't always get it right 100%. Or sometimes there's a hazard on the road which forces you to brake and change your line. In this case I prefer to be on a bike which has no tendency to leave the lean even when using the front brake.
Just like your second "fact". Yes you are right. But because of a bike's geometry etc. some fall easier into lean than others, no matter at which speed. I prefer the agile handling ones.
