BMW Motorrad Malaysia today unveiled the new BMW F 700 GS and the new BMW F 800 R, the latest premium motorcycles from the BMW Motorrad Plant in Rayong, Thailand.
Mr. Alan Harris, Managing Director & CEO, BMW Group Malaysia said, “The arrival of the new enduro and new roadster from BMW Motorrad will continue to deliver pure riding enjoyment and safety to customers in Malaysia. The new motorcycles will also be key in introducing the BMW Motorrad brand to new customer groups as the motorcycles have the right sized engines and the newest technology for new and novice riders.”
Both the new BMW F 700 GS and the new BMW F 800 R draw their power from the distinctive, liquid-cooled four-valve two-cylinder engine with 798 cc, electronic fuel injection, and 6-speed gearbox. As compared to its predecessor, the new BMW F 700 GS boost an output of 75hp and 77Nm of torque, while the new BMW F 800 R delivers an impressive output of 87hp and a maximum torque of 86Nm.
Both bikes will also be fitted with BMW Motorrad ABS as standard in accordance with BMW Motorrad’s “Safety 360°” principle – a safety concept which was developed with innovative solutions for maximum safety and carefree riding pleasure.
Aesthetically, the new BMW F 700 GS delivers immense versatility and robust performance for both road and off-road qualities, combining the best of both worlds together to an extent not previously seen in typical enduro bikes.
The new BMW F 800 R meanwhile carries a minimalist design style which offers the perfect combination of urban cool and sporty design. However, for a more harmonious appearance, the new BMW F 700 GS and new BMW F 800 R are fitted with new flashing turn indicators with LED technology. Each white turn indicator glass is fitted with two LEDs for enhanced visibility and safety on the road.
The cockpit of the new enduro and roadster meanwhile is now fitted with the BMW Motorrad on-board computer as a standard feature, which provides the perfect information management at a glance. Programmed for a particularly fast and comfortable retrieval of key vehicle data which is presented neatly to the rider on a flat screen, the on-board computer can be operated easily using the BC button on the right handlebar controls. The selection of functions and displays available at the push of a button include average speed, average fuel consumption and distance to empty among others.
The new BMW F 700 GS is also now available with the low seat option in Black featured as standard. With a different sized body for every rider, enduro customers can now enjoy even more optimised ergonomics in the new enduro bike with a lowered seat height of 790mm. This enables better functionality for increased comfort and dynamic performance when riding.
Meanwhile, to cater to different sized body for every rider, the new BMW F 800 R is now made available with a low seat option in Black featured as standard. Customers can now enjoy more optimised ergonomics in the new roadster with a lowered seat height of 780mm. The individual adjustment solution for the new roadster therefore supports perfect interplay between rider and machine.
In terms of colour choices, the new BMW F 700 GS are offered in Alpine White, Blackstorm, and Racing Blue. Meanwhile, two colour schemes are made available for the new BMW F 800 R including Racing Blue Metallic and Light White.
