Lot 376
2013 BMW 798cc F800GT

The BMW F-Series began in 1994 with single cylinder 650cc models. Originally built for BMW by Aprilia, with a Rotax engine, they were equipped with four valves per cylinder, and were an entry-level model for the marque. From 2008, the engines were replaced by twin cylinder ones, liquid cooled, and made by BMW themselves, in a number of different models with varying power outputs and configurations. Whilst the 800s were popular as a GS model, in 2013 the F800GT touring model was introduced, and riders found them to be an excellent general road/ touring model. RJ63 CKG was purchased by the owner with 19 miles on the odomater in March 2014, having been registered on 2nd December 2013, possibly by the dealer, so the owner appears as the second keeper. It has been little used by the vendor, and thus far, covered only 346 miles in total from brand new at the time of consignment. Despite the low mileage, the BMW has been twice serviced by BMW main dealers, fitted with an Akrapovic silencer, and has had four MoTs in the course of the present ownership. The F800GT has been kept in very good conditions, remains in pristine order, and is effectively a new motorcycle in all but name. However, whilst it starts and rides, having been standing since the last Mot, it will require the lightest of re-commissioning and safety checks. Documentation comprises a current V5C, an old V5C, some of the expired MoT certificates, the aforementioned service invoices, the original bill of sale, the original book pack with rider's manual, warranty and service booklet. The bike is presently on SORN.
All lots are sold 'as is/ where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding. Visit the Bonhams Motorcycles website for all pertinent auction information.
