F 800 GT

2018 BMW F 800 GT Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2018 BMW F 800 GT sport touring motorcycle, BMW relies on a 798 cc (48.7 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 90 HP (65.7 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 86 Nm (63.4 lb-ft) at 5,800 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 112.8 HP per liter and a 2,200 rpm working window between peak torque (5,800 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the F 800 GT measures 214 kg (472 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.42 HP/kg (2.38 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,514 mm (59.6 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4.3 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 349 km (217 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 200 km/h (124 mph).
