The naked F800R is powered by a 798cc parallel-twin engine that produces 87 horsepower at 8,000 rpm, and 63 lb-ft of torque at 6,000 rpm. The liquid-cooled, fuel-injected mill achieves an estimated 59 mpg on recommended premium fuel, and is mated to a six-speed manual transmission that drives the rear wheel using a chain. A wet weight of 437 pounds is aided, in part, by the bike's aluminum frame, which uses the engine as a load-bearing member. The seat height measures 31.5 inches, with an available 30.5 inch low seat, or a taller 32.5 inch option.
The F800R's front suspension is a telescopic 43mm setup which is non-adjustable, and the rear arrangement consists of a hand preload-adjustable spring strut that with adjustable rebound, as well. Front and rear suspension travel measures 4.9 inches, with 17 inch cast aluminum wheels at either end and four-piston twin-disc floating 320mm front brakes up front, and single-piston, single-disc 265mm stoppers at the rear. ABS is optional, as are extras like heated handgrips, a tire pressure monitor, trip computer, and a center stand.
