Motorcycle Overview
The BMW F800GS is a versatile adventure motorcycle that blends everyday usability with genuine adventure capability. Its 895cc parallel-twin engine delivers strong, accessible performance, while the comfortable riding position and 19-inch front wheel make it equally at home on highways, backroads and gravel.
Off-Road Ergonomics
The F800GS offers an upright, comfortable riding position with wide handlebars and suspension designed to handle changing terrain. Its 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels provide a good balance of stability and road manners, making it particularly well suited to gravel roads and lighter off-road adventures.
TFT & Connectivity
The F800GS features a 6.5-inch colour TFT display with BMW Motorrad Connectivity, providing clear access to riding information and smartphone functions. Riding modes, Dynamic Traction Control and ABS Pro add useful electronic assistance while keeping the technology straightforward to use.
Long-Range Fueling
With a 15-litre fuel tank and an efficient 895cc parallel-twin engine, the F800GS offers a useful combination of range and fuel economy for longer adventures. It’s well suited to exploring South Africa’s open roads and gravel routes without constantly having to plan your next fuel stop.
