BMW F 800 GS 2008

For us, the 800 GS is not a small GS, but a GS for non-BMW fans. So in principle it combines the virtues of the 1200 without its quirks, as newcomers would say.

Low price

positive ride comfort

beginner-friendly

low weight

relatively luxurious.

Annoying background noise in the (necessary) high rev range

no optional extras of the big GS

No KTM Adventure should cross the counter without MSC. The ABS / MSC has not a single disadvantage to offer in practice.

ABS / MSC control very fine

top chassis

lively engine
