“FOR A TOURER, VERY QUICK BUT ECONOMICAL, TOPBOX AND PANNIERS STYLISH AND ROOMEY. BELT DRIVE ELIMINATES NEED FOR CHAIN LUBE. LOW SEAT GREAT FOR SHORT LEGS. BUT, RUNS TOO HOT FOR SUMMER USE OVER ANYTHING BUT SHORT DISTANCES AND VIBRATION ANNOYING. STILL, GREAT FOR WINTER SPRING AND AUTUMN USE. TPMS BRILLIANT ALONG WITH OTHER INFO ON SCREEN. BUT, SPEED DIAL TOO SMALL AND MPH/KMPH CAN BE MISREAD. NEEDS DIGITAL FOR CLARITY AND ACCURACY.”
“Down sized from RT's when thinking of packing up riding after 53 years. Thoroughly enjoy the F800 gt, it is comfortable enough and has more than enough acceleration for normal use and more for overtaking.”
“great bike ..not too heavy for a tourer. still have fun in the windey bits..did 180 mile trip non stop 3hrs so good fuel range but did get a bit uncomfortable in the end ..gearbox can be a bit clunky going for quick changes or at low revs .heated grips are great”
“One or two minor things to improve it. Fenda extenda,too much water thrown up at the front wheel. Rear hugger for similar reason. 'Puig' higher screen for better airflow. 'Grip Buddies' because of a bit too much finger tingling at certain speeds. The standard grips seem very slim. Overall the bike rides very well, is very agile and a joy to ride.”
