BMW Motorrad, the motorcycle division of BMW, said on February 28 it would launch a new F 800 GT model. The F 800 GT is BMW Motorrad's first mid-range model following an introduction of the large-sized K 1600 GT. The water-cooled 2-cylinder in-line engine with a capacity of 798 cc offers remarkable dynamic performance on every trip. It boasts a high fuel efficiency of 29.4 kilometers per liter.

The F800 GT comes with an innovative electronic suspension adjustment function as an option. With the simple press of a button, the rider can adjust the level of suspension from comfort to normal and sports depending on the road condition and the rider's taste.

The new aerodynamically designed windshield guarantees safe riding even on rough days. The wheels, turn signals, and dashboard have been redesigned with latest BMW Motorrad design sensibility. Available colors include Valencia Orange Metallic, Light White, and Dark Graphite Metallic. The retail price is 15.85 million won.
