I've owned this machine from new, just over 15+ years now, I can't tell you how much I adore this Suzuki, it's just a fabulous all-rounder.
So impressed by it.

It’s a 2013 BMW f800GS. The colour is Kalamata olive.
It was the first new bike I ever bought and it’s now got 86,000 miles on it.

That's very impressive mileage in ten years Sir. wOOw Is yours the Adventure model Stevie..?

What miles can you roughly achieve from a full tank riding normally..?

No, it’s not the adventure. People in the ‘know’ prefer the normal GS over the GSA, it’s lighter and narrower. It’s like comparing Kylies rear end with a Kardashian’s. See how many GSAs are for sale compared to the GS. This model came out in 2013 and was made (with a few tweeks) up until 2017.
When driven sympathetically you can get 220 miles from the 16 litre tank, it was doing 77 mpg when it went to Norway.
For the last five years or so, it’s been my second bike and been ridden through the winters.
Here, have some more pictures

PS - mine only on its 5th winter . . . but you'd be hard pressed to tell as the bike holds up really well to winter use . . . with frequent cold water washes :mrgreen:

That looks like Dungeness? If not, it's of a very similar shingle & powerline ilk!
