The new BMW F 700 GS, F 800 GS and F 800 GS Adventure
–
authentic characters featuring optimised functionality.
For years the GS models of the F series have embodied carefree
motorcycling pleasure and sporty dynamics on the road, combined with
a high level of travel suitability and robust off-road competence.
For the model year 2017, BMW Motorrad has now taken the quality of
this successful mid-range enduro motorbike a stage further.
As before, the new F 700 GS is mainly aimed at motorcyclists who
like the ride feel of an enduro but do not require quite so much
off-road competence. Its strengths are a lower seat height,
all-round capabilities and more than sufficient power, along with
excellent fuel efficiency and everyday qualities.
The new F 800 GS combines road and travel suitability with
distinct off-road talents, combining these abilities at a level that
is unique within its class.
Based on the F 800 GS, the F 800 GS Adventure particularly
offers enhanced travel suitability even in the most remote corners
of the planet. For touring motorcyclists with a bent for off-road
riding, globetrotters and travel enduro riders it provides a genuine
BMW GS Adventure concept in the mid-range segment.
EU4 adaptation and newly designed tailpipe.
The 798 cc engines have been adapted to the EU4 regulations
for model year 2017. The visual hallmark here is the newly designed
end piece of the stainless steel tailpipe. The HP sports exhaust by
Akrapovič has also been redesigned and is available as an Original
BMW Motorrad accessory.
Electromotive throttle controller for further improved
response and the modes
“
Rain
”
,
“
Road
”
,
“
Enduro
”
and
“
Enduro Pro
”
to cater for individual rider preferences.
An electromotive throttle controller now passes on the
rider’s commands directly from a sensor on the twist
grip to the engine control system and therefore to the throttle
valve. The result is even finer controllability and an improved
response. At the same time, this also enables the new standard
riding modes “Rain” and
“Road” to be used for riding on damp or dry
surfaces as well as the modes “Enduro” and
“Enduro Pro” – available as an ex works
option (for the F 800 GS / F 800 GS Adventure only) – which are
designed for lighter and more intense off-road use respectively.
Instruments with new dials and even more information.
The new F 700 GS, F 800 GS and F 800 GS Adventure are fitted
with newly designed and more easily readable dials. An additional
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) ensures the EU4 norm is met, while
the display has been extended to include riding mode information.
Dynamic colours and styles convey the bike’s character more distinctly.
Powerful yet distinct character qualities are expressed in
three paint finish/style variants for each of the new F 700 GS and
F 800 GS, and there are two additional paint finishes for the BMW
800 GS Adventure fitted with new galvanised radiator trim elements,
a new intake silencer cover and a new ignition lock casing.
