Why the award comes to the BMW F 800 GS? The editors of Rider magazine said that “BMW has been thinking way out of the box”
The new F 800 GS adventure tourer proves its capability as unstoppable machine. It is much better off-road ability than its bigger brother, the Boxer BMW R1200GS. BMW F 800 GS is supported by taller wheels (a 21- and 19-inch front/rear), longer dimension, and not much lighter, but is far narrower with its upright parallel twin. It is just like the 1200 offering a tremendous amount of satisfying performance. It has enough on-road legs that you can haul down the highway from fill-up to fill-up in satisfactory comfort without stopping.
Starting at $10,520, the F 800 GS is also $4,000 cheaper than the bigger brother. And yet, it is also supported by range of adventure accessories including great expandable locking hard bags, GPS and a low-seat option. It looks like BMW F 800 GS has the best combination.
