BMW F800 GS

Posted on Apr 16, 2009

BMW makes one of the best all purpose adventure bikes in the world, the BMW R1200 Adventure.  It is an awesome machine, built like a tank for the long haul or as Ewen McGregor and Charlie Boorman have discovered for trips around the world in their “Long Way Down” and “Long Way Round” series.  The GS 1200 A is a beast, a monster.  What if you want the same all around capability but with a little more agile, off-roadable machine?  The answer is the BMW F800 GS.  In black and yellow, this is a switchblade of a bike perfect for carving up canyons and twisty roads on your path to nirvana.  The ultimate dual sport bike, this parallel twin engine bike pumps out 85 horses and 62 lb/ft of torque.   This bike comes with a six speed gearbox and switchable ABS, wide footed stance and a 4.2 gallon tank.  Find your own path and chase it.
