F800 S

2006 BMW F800 S Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by BMW for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2006 BMW F800 S features a 798 cc (48.7 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 83.8 HP (61.2 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. With a specific output of 105 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 F800 S measures 182 kg (401 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.46 HP/kg (2.17 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,466 mm (57.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
