Having spent a fair bit of time with the BMW F800GS, we were intrigued to see if the BMW F800GS would work. It was a hard one to second guess, but the good news is that the F800GS is a little blinder – what a great motorcycle. It feels light and aggressive from the off, with short gearing and a raspy thump from the exhaust helping to draw you quickly into the riding experience.
It's a tall motorcycle, and anyone under 1.8 meter is likely to struggle at traffic lights (there is a low seat option), but if you've got the legs, so has the BMW F800GS. The BMW F800GS feels like it could take you anywhere, and probably would. After five minutes on the Tarmac you'll be looking at the grass verges and alternative direction signs with an increasingly hard to ignore urge to get your rims dirty.
