BMW Other description

2013 BMW F 800 GT, This 2013 BMW F800 GT in graphite grey is available for sale at Euro Cycles of Tampa Bay located at 8509 Gunn Highway in Odessa, Florida 33556 Phone: 813-926-9937 Web: OPTIONS: This 2013 BMW F800 GT comes equipped with on-board computer, heated grips, saddlebag mounts, centerstand, Enduro ASC, ESA, TPM, comfort seat, and Brembo brakes with ABS. OVERVIEW: For 2013, BMW has introduced a replacement for the F 800 ST sport tourer, an more touring-ready model called the F 800 GT. Living up to its new Gran Turismo moniker, the F 800 GT gets a 5-horsepower boost (claimed) in power, a wide range of upgrades aimed at improving wind protection and comfort, and an expanded list of available accessories. A new fairing and windscreen give the F 800 GT a fresh look while also enhancing wind protection, and longer mirror stems give the rider a better view behind the motorcycle. BMW s 798cc liquid-cooled parallel twin, which in various states of tune powers all F-series models (F 700 GS, F 800 GS and F 800 R), now generates a claimed 90 horsepower (up from 85) at 8,000 rpm in the F 800 GT. The bike features an exhaust manifold and muffler adapted from the F 800 R, with the addition of a new exhaust heat shield in the passenger heel area. The 2013 BMW F 800 GT features optional hard saddlebags for the first time. As with all BMWs, ABS is now standard. The two-channel anti-lock braking system now has an additional pressure sensor in the front brake circuit for more precise activation. Complementing the ABS is a new option Automatic Stability Control (ASC) which reduces power to the rear wheel if excessive slip is detected. Also available for the first time on this model is optional Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA), allowing pushbutton changes to rear damping. The F 800 GT features a 2-inch-longer swingarm for more stability. A 0.6-inch reduction in rear suspension travel (to 4.9 inches) is said to reduce rear squat and increase stability, but the greatest benefit to many riders is likely to be the reduction of rider seat height from 33.1 inches to 31.5 inches. A remote knob allows easy rear spring preload adjustments. New, lighter wheels are said to improve overall handling, and load capacity has increased by 24 lbs., to 456 lbs. (claimed). In addition to the lower seat height, ergonomics have been improved with a 0.8-inch-taller handlebar and rider footpegs that are 0.4-inch lower and 0.4-inch farther forward. A new seat is also wider, and optional low and high seats are available. Other improvements include a new instrument cluster that displays more information, a now-standard onboard computer and a CAN-bus electrical system. The 2013 BMW F 800 GT gets more wind protection and new instrumentation. Accessory hard luggage is now available, including saddlebags with 55 liters of total capacity and a 28-liter top case that mounts to the standard luggage rack, plus a 10-liter (expandable up to 14 liters) tankbag.

European Parliament Makes ABS Mandatory, Tighten Emissions Standards by 2016

Wed, 21 Nov 2012

The European Parliament voted overwhelmingly in favor of new rules that would increase emission standards and make anti-lock braking systems mandatory for all new large motorcycles, scooters and trikes and quads by 2016. The new regulations, which would still need approval from European Union member states, may only directly affect Europe, but they will have a wide-reaching affect on manufacturers’ product development for other markets. BMW, for example, has already made ABS standard for all its motorcycles for 2013.

AMA Pro Racing Announces Basic Twins Flat Track Class for 2014 Season

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

AMA Pro Racing announced a new class for Flat Track racing designed to provide a new stepping stone for up-and-coming Pro-licensed racers, replacing the Pro Singles class in 2014. The new class, to be called Basic Twins, is more or less a revival of the Basic Expert Twins division that ran during the 2007 and 2008 seasons, but dropped when the Pro Singles class was introduced for 2009. The new class will give young racers a chance to showcase their skills on Twins, easing their transition to eventually enter the Grand National Expert Twins class.
