BMW F 800 GS 2009

Fully equipped with special equipment from Touratech, the BMW looked very imposing and gave the impression of a real, masculine adventurer's motorbike. Headlight grille, engine guard, grippy, wider footrests, and much more hopefully deceived many eyewitnesses about the same-sex partnership on the breathable comfort seat.

The new Versys 650 is truly more than just a revamped old lady - in addition to the contemporary look, the engine, chassis and equipment list have also been revised. It remains true to its sporty line, the 5 hp more benefit the mid-range for increased sovereignty - however, even the predecessor was a wonderfully lively fun machine. Instead, comfort is increased enormously by clever solutions such as the larger and now height-adjustable windshield. Finally, the optional features are also up to date: nice and roomy panniers, heated grips, LED fog lights, frame guard, gear indicator and a 12 V socket.
