BMW has created a versatile motorcycle, valid both for daily use and for occasional use on weekends, including equipment for higher segment motorcycles at a very competitive price. The twin cylinder engine BMW F800R it offers a pleasant driving feel, only damaged by the small bump existing between 4,000 and 5,000 laps, which forces you to be attentive to the rev counter needle. Apparently the engine seems a little decaf, but then you see that you are going very fast.

So much the comfort The driver as well as the passenger are insured, whether of German size as in my case, or more Iberian. In neither case will you have trouble adapting. In addition, the option of a higher or lower seat favors the perfect fit to the motorcycle. So far, it has been the bike that I have adapted the fastest to it, except for the supermotard segment, to which I am more accustomed. What's more, its consumption during the test, it was really low, approximately 5.2 liters per 100.

There are a couple of curiosities that I had left in the inkwell and that I take the opportunity to tell you. The first, that the valve of the wheels is integrated in the spokes, with which they already come out at 90º, greatly facilitating the check of the tire pressure. The second is that when washing the motorcycle, I noticed that the water accumulates in the area closest to the swingarm engine, and apparently, it does not come out of there by itself. I imagine that the water will eventually disappear while you are going, but if you wash the motorcycle close to home, you should be careful to check that no water has remained in that area, which can be harmful in the long run.

Finally, the installation of the chain transmission instead of the belt that the existing models from which it derives, I think a step back in comfort from day to day. I imagine that the benefits have surely been greater than I come to understand.
