High Concept: BMW HP2-800S

Posted on 06.19.2009 15:53 by Maxx Biker

This is a very plausible concept that could enlarge BMW’s middleweight lineup in the future.

Based on the 800cc parallel-twin engine powering both models in the F800 range (the F800GS and F800R), the BMW HP2-800S was sketched by industrial designer Roberto Redaelli in strict accordance with BMW’s demands.

Apart from the 90bhp engine, the HP2 800S would use a lightweight aluminum frame and carbon-fiber bodywork. Overall weight is supposed to be of 385.8 pounds.

We have to admit that this concept looks very interesting and it stands honest chances to become reality given the fact that the most important aspects prior to production have been realistically thought at.

BMW revives the F650 single

Posted on 12.29.2008 09:13 by Maxx Biker

BMW restarts production of the notorious 650cc single cylinder F650GS specifically for the demanding US market. The police and the military here simply continued to solicit the BMW F650GS in a great number, but also due to the multitude of spare and aftermarket parts already delivered, the German manufacturer is back to take care of unfinished business.

Even though called G650GS, the engine and chassis will be exactly the same as before being replaced by the parallel twin F800GS. But despite Europe’s nostalgia, the bike – which is made in China – doesn’t head there yet.

BMW expands their 2009 roadster lineup with the all-new F 800 R model, a motorcycle that is styled like its bigger sibling, the BMW K 1300 R, but relies on its own dynamics and performance in order to make a great impression in the highly competitive European market.

Call it a naked bike or better off, a streetfighter, the 2009 BMW F 800 R meets all the possible requirements to become the perfect mean of transportation around town and a big boys toy out where the roads get twisted and adrenaline starts pumping.

Motorcycle enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the arrival of BMW’s new F 800 GS will need to be a bit more patient, as production of the middleweight dual-purpose enduro will be delayed due to worldwide demand for the popular F 650 GS. The F 800 GS is expected to be available at US BMW Motorrad retailers in Fall 2008, making it a 2009 model. Fulfilling a need for a pure off-road oriented motorcycle that still has all the power, handling and reliability required for long-distance adventure (...)
