BMW F800R acceleration from 0 to 200kph plus some other tests. There is no other video showing the F800R acceleration so I decided to make one. Recorded on a closed road.
C'est sur que c'est pas un avion de chasse, avec 87cv forcément ... mais c'est la moto la plus facile et joueuse que j'ai pu essayer. En plus , très confortable et légère. Je l'adore. Mais de toute façon, avec 87cv y a largement assez pour s'amuser et perdre son permis ... donc pas besoin de 200cv comme c'est courant maintenant sur les sportives. Merci pour la vidéo ! Tout le monde n'a pas une GoPro pour pouvoir faire ça ;-)
Also good enough for not beginner I come from a gsxr but thinking about this instead of k1200 I always try to kill myself on the gsxr. And this Is lighter. Power is not everything. Something you start to consider when you get advanced :-)
this bike is awesome, 90 hp which is enough for everything unless you want to race which would be stupid because it isn't a race bike, and the power max power comes at just 8000 rpm, and 86 nm of torque at 5800. must be so cool and relaxed to ride that bike. not like my 150cc bike haha
+Slorm Raptor Well, you said everything about the bike :) Though you still can race as it has a lot of torque ! It easily keep up with another 800cc such as a z800.
Yes, the z800 has 113hp, but the f800 got a bit more torque and reaches it earlier, so it can keep with a z800, though the z800 has a better top speed :)
The F800 has an engine that is build for good torque while the Z800 4 cylinder requires rpms to achieve power i get that. However to me the engine sounds hollow and so far i havent heared about an exaust that would make the sound into something more sporty. Even the MT 07 with its 700 twin sounds better imo. specially with a new exaust. The MT 07 will probably be my fist bike and when i get tired of that wich will hopefully take a good while its bigger brother the MT 09 looks very interesting. I mate of mine has one and this 3 cylinder sounds increadible. Also 115 hp for just 8000€ is an argument on its own
ya, the MT 07 has an incredible lovely sound when it has a custom exhaust, though the BMW is still cool but you're right, the sound isn't as deep as a MT 07 can be, even with the akrapovic exhaust ! MT 09 is also a very good choice, very powerful and it's a 3 cylinder as you said, so it has a good torque and a good enough top speed.
Nice thanks. I have a bike which is twice as fast 0-200, but I dont feel I need it. I would like to try the quality of a BMW next time, and the 800R is quite light, - I think its a pleasent ride! :-) Is it comfy?
Had the bike back to the dealer and there was a restricter kit fitted,it was restricted to 46hp,I knew it wasn't right but Alls good now👍off to Prague on tues,what type of mileage can I expect from a tankful at a steady 70 mph?oh and thanks for the reply🏍
Daaaamn, I usually answer to everyone, I don't know why I forgot your... well better late than never but I think you found out by yourself already, I could do almost 400 KM with a full gas tank @ 90kp/h, so you could expect something between 350/400 KM (Ye I know this is insane for a bike but the fuel consumption is around 3.4L/100 so)
Interesting. Indeed, there is no video of an acceleration of F800R in this quality. I have a F800R too, and I have made some video of acceleration recorded on closed road too (but not uploaded on youtube) and this is exactly the same acceleration. I guess your F800R is completely stock. On my F800R I only have a GPR exhaust but always with db killer (so it's like stock I think).
Gollodwin Thanks for the comment :) Indeed, it was a stock F800R. Though it wasn't my main F800R, I should upload some more videos on the next days with my actual F800R (wich has an Akrapovic exhaust)
Alex Dragomirescu The bike is excellent for the beginners and even for the more experienced drivers, it handles quite well (feels like a bicycle), it accelerates pretty fast (even for only 90HP) and does a unique exhaust sound ;) I'd recommend it to someone looking for a good twin bike !
Nice vid. Just perfect. Do u think if u put a bigger sprocket in the front the bike can take it? Or a smaller one in the back. I mean the bike has loads of torque. And they made it on purpose to mess up gears 4, 5, & 6 and make them all shorter than usual, for city use. Admittedly that's where I use my bike the most. The result is all those CB600F hornets and Z750s gaining on top speed!!! With minor modifications I think, Iridium spark plugs, Power Commander and such. Really pisses me off as there's a lot of them where I live. Do u know of anyone who has done that? Thanks. Love my bike.
jamiebr33 I've honestly no idea on what it'd do, I believe it'd do the same as if you were changing the sprocket on another bike, the bigger the sprocket is, the more acceleration you'll get and a smaller sprocket will give you a better top speed. To be honest, unless you've a 2km straight road, you got all your chance against these type of bike ;)
F800Rider I think the only way is to try it. 42t rear sprocket from F800GS will fit just fine. I think it'll be way too long gearing but it's worth a try. Original is 47t. I'll borrow a gopro from my friend. Thx.
A work friend of mine was kind enough to let me take one of these out for a drive a couple weeks ago. It is very fast, and easy to drive slow. To me, first gear was nice and long and the bike over-all was pretty good. Bad points.... I found the clutch a little heavy, the bike vibes quite a bit and it didn't fall into corners like other bikes I've tried.
Hey mate, right after the F800R I bought an S1000R, crashed it 1 year after, and bought another one, I can't find a better bike for everydays use and some riding on a circuit ! :)
I've just picked a 2015 model up and I'm sure it's got a restricted kit on it,as the one in the vid seems a lot easier revving,how would I know by looking if the kit is fitted?
Hey, well you "feel" it, though it's hard to tell if you can't compare with another bike, but the restriction is 34hp on such bike, you should feel if the bike has 34 or 87hp, just open the gas in a straight line and try to compare with the times on this video :)
Yup, it's very easy and safe to ride, it has enough power for a first bike to start with. If you can find a cheap one with some options, don't hesitate !
+F800Rider thanks I have just spoke to a dealership next one that comes in will me mine , and a full house option is available so I am going for ot thanks a lot!
Clutching it for “more” speed and power @ 9000rpm (redline) duh , hopefully you have learned more about riding since you created this video! Good effort
Awesome video mate... That's really useful for whoever is willing to buy one...

Perfect information, thnks
Very useful for those who want to buy one ! Thank you
This is just what I needed! Thanks!
+John Mård You're welcome !
This bike is fantastic!!
Known by all as "Flying Carpet"!!
Because it's Smooth or?
Super smooth
It sounds so funny but it pulls hard on the low range... love it.
Very good man
Just a short video but with all you need to know about acceleration of this bike! Love it!
Thanks bud !
Nice Vid! F800R is not very represented on youtube! Interesting "real life" numbers :THANX
Bvuiiit Yes that's why I had the idea of making one of these "acceleration" video :) Thanks for the feedback !
Superbă lansarea!
I think the same. This video is cool.

Like mine... great performance! ✌️
Yep, good enough for a beginner imo ;)

@@sund5 agree with you ✌️
@@f800rider3Are you kidding? This bike basically is an Audi RS3 on two wheels when it comes to acceleration
I have that bike and its a very good bike. Performance is good for its category. Thx

vídeo sensacional, show, parabéns.
Hi! At around 8k rpm did you slip the clutch? The engine was revving a bit strange...
Alex Dragomirescu Hello, nope but the road was a bit bumpy :)
:) understood. How do you like the bike? I'm considering one....
Alex Dragomirescu The bike is excellent for the beginners and even for the more experienced drivers, it handles quite well (feels like a bicycle), it accelerates pretty fast (even for only 90HP) and does a unique exhaust sound ;) I'd recommend it to someone looking for a good twin bike !
What's the problem with the engine sound when you reach the red zone ? Are you decelerating ?
Hey, no I'm not decelerating, this is the result of a very "bumpy" road, hence the sound you hear.
1:45 to 1:55 for exemple. It's not the road its your moto. mhmm
Oh that sound, then yeah, it's called a limiter, every bike have it if you didn't know :|
F800Rider My gladius did not have this. I can reach maximum tpm then it tilt at 11.5.
it depends of the bike, the F800R has a very particular engine and it revs very fast.
Test ultra complet !

Yes, as I said, it has enough torque for an everydays bike ! The vibes/shake are normal, it's a 2-cylinder, but you get used to it :)
Hey buddy, just curious. What do you ride nowadays?
Hey mate, right after the F800R I bought an S1000R, crashed it 1 year after, and bought another one, I can't find a better bike for everydays use and some riding on a circuit ! :)
@@f800rider3 Nice
Enough power and torque with a passenger and full luggages?
Hey, ye it'll "work" but you'll feel the weight on the acceleration for sure.
@@f800rider3 Cheers bud!
@@pomajzsolt4363 Have fun !

+F800Rider Thanks.
wow you really just jumped on that didn;t you!
Just a tad better launch and you have been 3.7-3.8 0-100. But that was good enough.
Hi, have you experienced any problems with the front wheel going over 150km/h?
Hey, not that I can remember, you mean shaking problems ? Cause I never had any, that bike just goes straight !
geht die f800 GSdann genauso ab?
+Kirk Hammett It's exactly the same motor, so I believe yes.
F800Rider
but is the aerodynamic the same?
+Kirk Hammett You should be more protected on the 800gs as you sit lower than on the 800R, so you must have less air resistance on the gs yes.
F800Rider
ok thanks
50-150 uhhuuu 🔝
Minha XT660 quebra no meio se fizer isso em 5ª marcha 😅
Go Mobylette!!
Its so cute :)
Is it ?^^
Eu andei na do meu irmão e não gastei 20s pra chegar a 200 foi menos e cheguei a 210 facil
220???
Rodrigo Lopes What 220 ?
Es Bien eso F800R
That 220 at the end was rather optimistic.................
Not shown on the video but it goes @ 220 :)
esta bien eso f800r
Ca sent l'urine !
Бля , у меня тоже не едет больше 215 ..
Clutching it for “more” speed and power @ 9000rpm (redline) duh , hopefully you have learned more about riding since you created this video! Good effort
How about a bumpy road ? I don't clutch at high rpm, good effort tho
Good video, slow bike
+mateygdansk Only 87 bhp, still quick enough for a beginner :)
Ahaha..c pas un missile
85cv tu t'attendais a quoi ?
baron eurvin MOI J’ADORE, ET JE ME DEMANDE BIEN CE QUI ME FERAIT CHANGER ... ou peut être la 900 s’il BM la prépare en GT ... la mienne est de 2014
