Got a loan of the new 800 GS Adventure from Dundee BMW after a bit of a slow start with them they have been very helpful and let me have the bike for the weekend. I clocked up over 120 miles yersterday on dual carriageway A road B road a little off road and some riding in the dark to test the lighting. All I can say is. I want one.
So much nicer to ride than my Transalp, with more protection because of the higher screen. I also has a bit more grunt. The Enduro or Road settings are easy to use and it does become a breeze to handle on the rough stuff when Enduro mode is set.
The fuel tank under the seat means you lose some storage space but the weight under the seat and no tank up front means the bike feels narrow and light.
Time to save some pennies over the winter.
