DescriptionThe whole story▼
The pannier question decides this purchase. A BMW F 800 GS that tours carries side cases, the right-hand one sits directly over the silencer, and an aftermarket exhaust that does not clear it is useless to the rider who bought the bike for what it does. Akrapovic states outright that this system is compatible with the BMW side cases.
Key Features
- Compatible with the BMW side cases
- EC and ECE type approved, and separately approved by the US EPA
- Titanium outer sleeve with a carbon fibre end cap
- 4.2 kg against a standard 4.9
- 81.2 PS, half a horsepower above standard
- Covers three model names across ten model years
- Thirty minutes to fit
Three Names, One Silencer
BMW's 798 cc parallel twin carried the F 800 GS from 2008, the softer F 700 GS from 2013 and the long-range F 800 GS Adventure from the same year. The three differ in wheels, suspension and tank, not in where the exhaust runs, so one part number covers all of them to 2017.
Akrapovic lists this system under the designation Slip-On Line (Titanium) 700, which is its own catalogue shorthand rather than a restriction: the fitment covers the 800 as well.
Approved Three Ways
EC and ECE type approval mean no entry in the German vehicle documents and no argument at a roadside check. The separate US EPA approval is unusual on a European catalogue page and reflects that these machines sold well in North America.
This is a type approval, not an ABE. The distinction matters in Germany, and the paperwork that comes with the system is what a Prüfer will ask to see.
Seven Hundred Grams, and Not a Gram More Claimed
4.9 kg standard to 4.2. Fourteen per cent, on a motorcycle that weighs 214 kg with a full tank. Nobody will feel that as a change in handling, and it would be dishonest to suggest otherwise.
What people buy this for is the sound and the look of a titanium can where BMW put a large steel box. The weight saving is real but it is a footnote.
The Torque Reading Is Not Straightforward
Akrapovic records peak torque of 78.2 Nm against a standard 78.3 — two tenths lower — while also recording a gain of 1.1 Nm at 4,550 rpm. Both figures come from the same dyno sheet and both are reproduced here as the manufacturer gives them.
Read together they describe a curve that is fuller in the middle and fractionally lower at its highest point. On a trail bike that trades in low-range drive, that is the right way round.
Half an Hour
Thirty minutes, which is what a slip-on should be. Two clamps, a hanger bracket and the standard silencer comes off. It is a job for a home garage with a torque wrench, not a workshop booking.
An Older Machine, Still Working
The last of these left the factory in 2017 and BMW replaced the platform with the F 750 GS and F 850 GS. Plenty are still in daily use, and they are exactly the sort of motorcycle whose owner keeps improving it rather than replacing it.
Road Approval
EC and ECE type approved, with a separate US EPA approval. No entry in the vehicle documents is required.
