Manufacturer: BMW
Model: F800S
Year: 2007
Options: ABS
Mileage: 21K
Title: Clean
SOLD

Purchased from the BMW dealership in Modesto (Cycle Specialties) where I bought it from one of the employees about a year ago. Every major service has been done at the dealer and recall work has been done. It is the ABS-optioned model, it has heated grips, but it has no trip computer or fuel gauge.

Last major service and dealer checkup was done 1K miles ago at 19K miles. All fluids were changed at 17K miles. I have all paperwork to prove it and if seller wants we can take it to the BMW dealer for an inspection (buyer pays). Oil has been changed every 3K miles using only BMW oil and filters. Tires have been changed about 1K ago to Pirrelli Angel GTs. The bike needs nothing and won't need anything besides oil changes and gas for a long time.

Front fork fully rebuilt this month - new bushings, oil, seals, and dropped in some Ricor Intiminators (valve emulators) to make the suspension setup perfect.

I will give you a SW-Motech mount for a Givi rear hardcase for touring. The mods on the bike alone are worth over $5K+

The bike has never been tracked - I use it as a commuter.

Some pics of the bike:

List of mods (the ones I can remember right now):
- Akrapovic titanium exhaust
- Ohlins rear shock, fully adjustable with external preload adjuster
- Ricor Intiminators in front fork (will install this month)
- Wunderlich brake and clutch levers
- Custom paint job - pearl white/red "CS" logo
- Powdercoated red wheels to match the bike
- Morimoto D2S HID projector retrofit (unfortunately the bike throws a bulb warning because of this). Can be changed back to stock with a stock headlight.
- Rear clear brake light with LED
- Z-Technik CF engine covers
- Z-Technik CF top triple cover
- Z-Technik CF instrument cover
- SW-motech brake pedal enlarger
- SW-motech sidestand enlarger
- SW-motech rear topcase mount (will also include OEM passenger grab handles)
- Knight Design lower footpegs
- MRA adjustable windscreen
- R&G front axle sliders
- Mirror extenders
- S1000RR front turn signals
- BMW Dynamic rear seat (pillion) cover
- Garmin GPS mount

I took great care of this bike and it is my commuter daily, so mileage will slowly increase.

I'd also consider trades (with me adding cash) for some interesting sport-touring/naked bikes like BMW K1300S, Duc Diavel, etc. Must have ABS and preferably TC.

Can throw in the Garmin Nuvi GPS ($700 orig price), Givi top case + backrest (6 months old), and a full set of Galfer sintered brake pads (new) for the bike for another $500.

I'd also like to mention that this bike gets phenomenal fuel economy. I regularly get 200 miles out of a tank.
 
Dropped it off today for a full rebuild of the front fork, including bushings, seals, dust covers, Amsoil oil, and also to drop in a set of Ricor Intiminators.
 
pimped?

I was trying to find an adjective for how the bike looks - and "pimped" came to mind.

Its an odd look for a BMW.

Fair price for the bike, tho.
 
pimped? that's about as subdued of a "sporty" paintjob as i've ever seen. white with a subtle red stripe and matching red wheels looks great. gives the bike a little pop where they typically are pretty invisible.

don't have to look much further than the factory to see real pimping.

My wife said that Instagram isn't a good source of pictures for a for sale ad.

So I went for a nice ride today (~150 miles) and took some pics of the bike with an actual camera. Updated in original post.

Bike is ready to tear up the twisties, tour to Alaska, wheelie to safety, etc.

Has a factory-installed steering damper!
 
I'm interested. What has to happen to change out a belt? How often does it have to be done?

Changing the belt is a simple DIY job that takes about 30min using basic tools. IMO, easier than a chain and sprockets.

Dealer says 36K, which is also what F800 forum riders recommend. My belt still looks great.
 
Rented one of these for a 10 day trip a few years back. Super comfy and fun ride.
 
Awesome bike, even better value.

GLWS!

Thanks, I think this is the best middleweight bike that money can buy.

I am leaving the country for a bit on Saturday, so I can show the bike today and tomorrow.

Surprised nobody has picked this up yet...
