:skep:

I applaud the effort, but all the white on the tail is blech.......

looks like shit

agreed, the guy has been trying to sell it on craigslist for a while, he wants $5k for it, and while it looks cool, its just way too much money

ditto

love it, lots of good parts on there too

says the guy who masturbates to photos of GS 800s :lol

a bike I've never even heard of :lol

it's the F800GS

and it's not what the bike looks like so much.. as what it can do... and that makes it sexy..

the paint on that bike makes it look like shit...



for your viewing pleasure

You must not have a big enough stick up your ass

Oh ok it's a bimmer (or beemer)

Looks ok to me, it's a lot better than those ugly VSTROMs.

But isn't 800 cc's a little overkill for a dual sport? Unless maybe you were going to spend a lot of the time ON road.

yeah... probably is... but it'll be my only bike and I tend to take long trips... so this will be nice and comfortable for long trips and I don't have to stop when the pavement does.

I'm looking eventually to pickup a KLR or DRZ dualsport to do a bit of travel, store, fly home, fly back and repeat.

how much are they, and is it a single or twin?

the F800GS is a parallel twin. run 11000 new... 13000 out the door with ABS (selectable) heated grips, trip computer, and clear signals(who really cares).

what is the difference between that and something like an KTM 690? I rode one of those and couldn't get used to it, it was so damn high and had alot of brake dive.

it's got more power... a little more road focused from what I've been told.

I've yet to ride either... but I've set on the 800GS...


the nice thing about the 800 is that it's got a payload that rivals the 1200.. but has much better off road prowess.

it gets 50-60 mpg... has a 4.2 gal tank... perfect for me (like to get over 200mpt)

love the old 900rr's put a black tail section on it and ride the piss out of it. The swing arm and rear hugger would have to be repainted as well.

I can see that 900 crying. It's weeping and drowning in it's own sorrow. I'd pick it up because of some of the delicious parts, but would trailer it home in a box trailer and hide it in the garage until new fairings showed up. Anybody notice that the frame, case covers, and the rear wheel are all painted like that?

And the subframe too :skep:

What is the whole "Stick Up" reference?

Also, anyone notice how he claims "Ohlins front and rear" but it still has the stock forks? Sure, he could have put Ohlins internals in them, but then why does he have a Showa sticker on them instead of Ohlins?

stick up reference?

its the exhaust. look at the pipe

The decal on the bike, where it says "Stick Up" on the tank

oh... didn't look close the first time...

yeah think the pipe says stickup too... :idk:

I love how people think their stuff is styled to "them", should bring in a lot of cash.

Bike is cool, paint is hideous.

They get that way because ppl tell them their ugly bike is nice, to be polite.

I would ride that bike.

BTW, his "Exhaust system built as per our specs at Akrapovič factory."
is a stock CBR exhaust with what looks to me like a Kerker slipon.

Are you serious :lmao:
