For the third consecutive year, Chris Pfeiffer on his BMW F 800 R claimed the Indoor World Cup, which was decided at the the Swiss-Moto Exhibition in Zurich on Sunday 22, February 2009. In second and third places, two Hungarians: Balasz Herzceg and Zoltan Angyal.

The reigning double world champion and title defender Chris Pfeiffer was favourite again, but a debilitating flu made the first day of training agony: he spent more time on the toilet than on his motorcycle. At that time, even for him to participate was in question.

During the first qualification round on Saturday, he was forced to drop a number of physically challenging tricks from his routine and was only ranked third

Chris Pfeiffer, Street Bike Freestyle World Champion recently attended the Milan motorcycle event, Eicma, to present the new BMW Motorrad naked, F800 R Chris Pfeiffer Edition.

The F800 R was shown at the BMW stand in the new livery, the same as that used by Chris in his show at the Motolive square. The white, blue and red colours include the seat cover and front mudguard, with the tank autographed by Pfeiffer and an Akrapovic exhaust.

Like the production series model, this edition is equipped with the parallel twin cylinder, that has a power of 87hp and torque of 86 Nm.

MotorcycleUsa site has been indulging in some gossip on possible new models from the German company. The American site has been even talking of a new F800R, in addition to an updated version of the F800S.

The F800R would be similar in appearance to the F800 special, used by Chris Pfeiffer. We hardly made it in time to check out the site named (www.motorrad-augsburg.de), when three photos arrived that you can see in the gallery.

Given that the photos seem real, three colours at least look likely for this new BMW naked - white, grey and orange. What do you think?
