2010 BMW F800GS - Lot 44

2010 BMW F800GS French registration Serial number T87667 30th anniversary limited edition 32 670km This F 800 GS tends towards a more all-road profile than its siblings. It leaves the 1200 to deal with hardened riders, and the 650 with the more urban side. The F800 GS is used to having fun on the trails, thanks to all-terrain tires on spoked rims. From a 30-degree incline, the cylinders are wound up to 8.3 degrees. To achieve this, BMW completely redesigned the lower half of the crankcase. New fasteners, new reinforcements, a modified clutch cover and release shaft, as well as an adapted water pump and hose fittings, have saved a kilo on the engine. The camshafts on the GS are slightly different, allowing power delivery more in keeping with the philosophy of a trail bike. The backbone of the 800 GS is a new tubular steel trellis frame, with a highly refined steering column. This allows the handlebars to be turned through 42 degrees. The fork has inverted tubes 45 mm in diameter, with 230 mm of travel.
