Is that metal plate an extra to mount the aluminium top box?Zookman wrote:Looks pretty nice this 800GS.... the only thing I don't like is how far the exhaust sticks out from the side.

Re: the new bmw f800gs adventure
Would anybody know if that screen support you see in this video will fit the "old" F800GS model and if it's obtainable as a spare part?dancanovas wrote:cool new vid

Re: the new bmw f800gs adventure
I got a couple of prices the other day from Park Lane BMW.
800ADV £9045 + , LED spots, heated grips, LED indicators, Alarm, centre stand makes it £10,783
800ADV T £9,930 (the T is for travel apparently) + ESA, LED indicators, Alarm makes it £11,253
The T already had extra bits on it that the non T hasn't. I test rode the 'normal' 800GS and with the bits it needs (IMHO)to make it usable - a comfort seat and bigger screen, plus a few upgrades to it came to £10,476. I've got to say that for that kind of cash I found the bike pretty underwhelming. I guess if you're into them though, then the ADV actually looks like quite good value for money compared to the non ADV. Blimey aren't bikes getting stupidly expensive!!

Re: the new bmw f800gs adventure
Managed to sit on and have a good look round the 800GSA yesterday at the bike safe show. It looks awesome, i guess if you never really go off road then this could be the ideal adventure bike.
