BMW are now calling the previously known T800 (unofficial name - {link}), the F800S. The BMW F800S motorcycle is the first of a series of motorcycles developed on a twin cylinder, 800 cc 4-valve Bombardier-Rotax motorcycle. The compression is a very high 12:1.
The wet weight is 200 kg, and the motorcycle has the latest digital electronics, including ABS. The F800S motorcycle, as seen from previous spy photos uses a belt drive as found on the F650CS-Scarver.
The motorcycle develops some 60 kW (about 80 bhp).
The official launch of the F800S will be 15 November at the EICMA Motorcycle show in Milan.
