Reviews

"From the F 800 ST F 800 GT. The drive continues to serve the 0.8 -liter two-cylinder in-line engine with 66 kW/90 hp now instead of the previous 62 kW/85 hp. New features include the full fairing with wind and weather protection, wheels and a luggage system. "

"Ultimately, the F 800 GT is a really good sport tourer, which has been optimized properly with respect to the long-distance comfort and fit to travel without distorting the basic character of the ST. Good conscience you can set the sport tourers on the new BMW, which stands with its 15 -liter tank and probably almost unchanged low consumption of a new tour in the south, followed by Kurventurnerei as a very last in the way. "

" Which in turn well so it is fitting that the GT feels more and more comfortable with increasing speed. She's not handling miracle, will not and can not be any, but who leads them with clear message by vee, Z8 be enthusiastic about their neutrality, accuracy and cornering clearance and the best harmonizing with the GT - character Metzeler.
