Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 800 GT 2017

BMW has refined and improved the F 800 GT in the course of the EURO4 update. This starts with the visual upgrades such as classy logos and ends with the standard Road and Rain riding modes. Buyers can find further amenities in the extensive accessories catalogue, which quickly exacerbates the mild entry price. But the F 800 GT feels like a "big one" and awakens pride of ownership. It moves confidently, safely and extremely sportily through the city and across the country. The classic sports tourer in its most beautiful form.
