“Gearing could be better for round town riding, only had one thing go wrong (rocker cover gasket) cost a fortune in parts and labour, Had 4 bm,s, this will be the last”
“I bought the bike for a long distance trip in Europe and Morocco. So far it's been totally reliable, a really comfortable ride and handles well. I am a solo female biker and am still on my travels. I would recommend this motorcycle to anyone who wants to do long distance. It's been awesome!”
“I have covered nearly 30,000 miles on my factory lowered F650 GS travelling around Europe including eastern Europe and lovely Romania, Slovakia etc. . I do have some extras including a comfort seat and touring screen but otherwise bike is standard and great, easy to ride and never missed a beat. Very economical too at over 250 miles per tank.”
“I find the bike ideal for commute to and from work great for filtering and on Friday u could easily take u to the south off France,I have not done any off road with it but right tyres I think it would eat it up its balance is perfect.”
“BMW F 800GS cost just under 9 k when new in May 2011. It have now covered 10750 miles mostly travelling around Europe. It has been reliable, comfortable and extremely economical. It is better suited to the taller rider, in my opinion. Even with all the luggage when carried, it easy to move both on and off the bike.
I can't fault it. It has been serviced when scheduled and apart from a chain oiler is standard. I would recommend it to anyone.”
