The New BMW F800 GS Versus My KTM 950 Adventure
Sierra BMW has posted videos on YouTube of the new BMW F800 GS in action. I'm kind of not sure about it. I was hoping for something a little beefier looking, if not heavy. I was too optimistic about what BMW could accomplish, I guess. Given the R1200 GS has a much bigger engine and shaft drive and is only slightly heavier, I had hoped for a mini 1200 Adventure, but really got a slightly bulked up 650 GS. I waited for a long time to see if the 800 GS would come out to replace my 2001 BMW F 650 GS, but finally succumbed to the butt-ugly charms of this bike ...

The F 800 GS still intrigues me and I will definitely take a test ride when it hits my local dealer, but I don't think it will pull me away from el gato negro.
