One of the most significant additions to the 2024 F 800 GS is the addition of heated grips and hand protectors. While these may seem like 'luxury' features, they can make a world of difference by making riding in cold or wet weather much more of a pleasant experience than it otherwise is. Heated grips are one of those features that riders don't care about until they experience it - once they do, there's no going back.
BMW has also introduced a slew of optional equipment with the new F 800 GS. Topping this list is the BMW Intelligent Emergency Call System. Activated by hitting a red SOS button on the handlebars, the system connects the rider directly with a BMW emergency response agent during an accident. BMW takes it further by allowing the system to make the call unassisted when the bike detects a flip or crash or even when the rider becomes unresponsive.
The BMW F800 GS experience is made of the experience offered by the sum of its parts, and BMW has paid close attention to improving the bike across all fronts to help it exceed modern middleweight ADV standards.
There's no guarantee that the same price will carry over across the pond, but this figure should give you a rough idea of what to expect when the F 800 GS is officially launched for the American market. Considering all the features that it adds to the stellar F 750 platform, we think that this is an excellent price point for this upcoming motorcycle, although you could go a level higher than the F 800 GS and get the F 900 GS for just a bit more.
Reliably prepared for the route ahead. Thanks to the new, more powerful engine and many other upgrades, the F 800 GS is your ideal companion for short or long trips. Pack your bag, grab your friends and off you go. Together you will explore new paths and experience unforgettable adventures. You will experience, listen to the crackling campfire and leave your everyday life behind.
With the available ConnectedRide Navigator, you have the important vehicle and traffic information available at a glance while riding. Regular map updates ensure that you know the way to your destination. The robust hardware can handle just about anything. With the BMW Motorrad Connected app, you can also integrate your smartphone and its functions.
Pure riding pleasure on every route. The new parallel-twin engine of the F 800 GS offers enhanced peak power with an improved torque curve. Thanks to the optimized power curve, the F 800 GS reaches its peak power of 87 hp at 6,750 rpm earlier, with a simultaneously increased maximum torque curve of 67 lb-ft at 6,750 rpm.
