First and foremost, BMW has up-tuned the 798 CC parallel twin cylinder motor which produces a claimed 90 BHP at 8000 RPM, which is 5 BHP more than what the current F800ST produces. Although BMW did not disclose much about the revisions made to this liquid cooled, twin cylinder engine, it did say that the engine will be coupled to a new exhausts system for performance improvements.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border-width: 0px;\" title=\"2013 BMW F800GT\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ridetalks.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/2013-BMW-F800GT.jpg\" alt=\"2013 BMW F800GT\" width=\"680\" height=\"517\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Making the motorcycle more touring friendly are a number of changes that have been made to the design.
