BMW F800GT (2013 - 2020)
Middleweight sport-tourers are not very common and the BMW F800GT is one of the very few A2 legal motorcycles available in this category. Its parallel twin engine is smooth at all speeds and the bike handles really well. It has very good fuel economy and offers enough power for long-distance commuting.
The bike offers premium build quality for a reasonable price, but there are not that many features in the standard version.
The BMW F800GT comes equipped with a large windshield and ABS. Traction control, panniers and electronic suspension are not included in the standard version and you will have to pay extra money for them.

The BMW F800GT is a 798cc A2-friendly sport bike. It has a power output of 66 kW (90 bhp), which exceeds the 35 kW (47 bhp) limit needed for an A2 licence. The bike has to be restricted by at least 46.9% to become A2 licence compliant.
You will need a restrictor to ride the BMW F800GT on an A2 motorbike licence. See the restrictor kits section to check out what restrictors are available for the BMW F800GT.
