2013 BMW F 800 R Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
At the heart of the 2013 BMW F 800 R naked motorcycle, BMW features a 798 cc (48.7 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 87 HP (63.5 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 63 Nm (46.5 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 109 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 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 R measures 199.1 kg (439 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.44 HP/kg (2.29 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 1,519 mm (59.8 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 15.9-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.62 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 439 km (273 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 201 km/h (125 mph).
