At the beginning of Valentino Rossi and his crew move into the Yamaha team in 2004, was the only person who talked about the optimism that victory will be achieved by Rossi is Jeremy Burgess. Chief mechanic at the Italian camp was reaping the truth when the first series race at the circuit Welkom, South Africa 2004 was held over. The Doctor won by a landslide, but how about this 2011 season?

Of course, many have started to grope with the possibility of Rossis victory in the first series of his new team, the Losail Qatar on (20 / 3) future.

Honda is recalling certain model year 2010 and 2011 VT750 motorcycles produced from June 25, 2009, to March 28, 2011.

The bank angle sensor may be incorrectly manufactured creating the possibility of an erroneous reading which could cause the engine to stall.

The number of units affected is 3020.

2011 BMW F800R First Ride Review, Price ,Feature


BMW know that the market for this bike in the UK is limited; over half of their worldwide sales of middleweights are made up of just France, Spain and Italy and the UK market is comparitively small at just 4%, so youd wonder why theyre putting a lot of effort into this new middleweight class, a class saturated by bikes like the Yamaha FZ6, Honda Hornet and Suzuki Gladius. But as weve seen from their recent S1000RR Superbike, BMW like a challenge.

The F800R fits into BMWs Urban category, alongside bikes like the R1200R and K1300R, but unlike those models, the F800R runs a parallel twin. The bike has been designed over two years to take on this competitive class, while costs have been kept to a minimum. Ill run you through the areas I think BMW have skimped on to save money, but first I want to talk about the engine.

Despite being an 800, the engine doesnt make as much power as its smaller capacity middleweight rivals, but it does produce more torque and on the road that translates into smoother drive and a less manic ride. The engine pulls from as low as two-thousand revs and even if youre tickling along in top gear at 40mph, itll pull surprisingly hard, without being laboured. During running in periods, BMW claim they got 195 miles to a tank, which is on par with an R1200GS and I dont doubt this. On my ride, after 80 miles the fuel gauge wasnt even at half full.

In line with the demands of a dynamic roadster, the chassis is designed for excellent handling, agility and steering precision, and therefore maximum riding fun on winding country roads, though without compromises in terms of directional stability at high speeds, for example when riding on the motorway.

The streetbike freestyle world champion Christian Pfeiffer provides a foretaste of just how playfully the rider can handle the F 800 R. For over two years now he has ridden a version of the F 800 S exclusively tailored to his needs at international competitions and shows: the similarity of this bike to the current F 800 R is by no means coincidental. In future, the motorcycle acrobat will be able to demonstrate his skills on a machine based on the new F 800 R.

But the new F 800 R boasts more than just sporting talent: in the very best tradition of BMW it also possesses classic virtues such as outstanding seating comfort for rider and pillion passenger as well as an exemplary level of safety. For example, the F 800 R is optionally fitted with an ABS whose newly developed pressure sensor provides an even finer regulation of the system and therefore even greater safety – especially in connection with sporty riding.
