Some info from BMW GB on the new F800 twin models;

BMW Motorrad’s new F800 sports middleweight machines are designed to offer serious fun to just about anyone – from commuters to tourers and even those starting out in biking. Having launched new generation contenders in the superbike, enduro, touring and sports touring categories, BMW Motorrad has turned its attention to the sports middleweight class. The F800 features a powerful, torque-rich 800 cc parallel-twin engine (the first in BMW’s history), a new suspension system and maintenance-free belt drive.

Previously BMW had a gap in its range between the single-cylinder F650 bikes and the 1200 cc Boxers and four-cylinder motorcycles. This has now been filled with the new F800 S and ST models.

Oh, I forgot to mention: In the way of motorcycles, check out the BMW K1200S. Magazine reviewers have compared it favorably to the Suzuki Hayabusa, the King Of Speed amongst motorcycles (though the BMW is considerably pricier). The all new K1200S set a new land speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats on September 8, 2005. Full story at http://www.webbikeworld.com/BMW-motorcycles/bmw-bonneville-record.htm
