In 2013 BMW has also released a new model to replace the F 800 ST in its mid-range sport touring lineup - the F800GT. Besides the new full-fairing and redesigned windscreen, the upgrades to this "Gran Turismo" are not only aesthetics. The F800GT receives a five-horsepower increase from its 798cc water-cooled parallel twin, the engine now featuring 90 base horsepower at 8,000 rpm. Also, the belt-driven F800GT arrives with standard ABS, and optional Automatic Stability Control (ASC) and Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA).
The new F800GT already features the state-of-the-art dual channel BMW Motorrad ABS as standard. Lighter and more compact than the predecessor generation, the new ABS system also makes use of an additional pressure sensor in the front brake circuit, further optimizing control quality.Another safety bonus is provided by Automatic Stability Control ASC available as an accessory or factory option. ASC can be deactivated as required.
In the new F 800 GT an increase in power has been achieved by means of revised set-up. It now has an output of 66 kW / 90 bhp (F 800 ST: 62.5 kW (85 bhp)) at 8,000 rpm. As before, the vehicle is fueled with premium grade fuel.Other new features of the F 800 GT include the exhaust manifold and rear silencer, both drawn from the dynamic roadster F 800 R.
Another new feature of the F 800 GT is the connection of the BMW Motorrad Navigator IV to the handlebar clamp, available as part of the range of BMW Motorrad special accessories. This allows combination with the tank bag, while another advantage is optimum readability. F 800 GT released three Color Options such as Radiant Valencia Orange, Dark Graphite Metallic, Light White
