So, nothing too new here either for the BMW F800GS. That might not be such a bad thing for the F800GS die hard out there. No changes except colour choices and some options. Like I have said we will be in the market for new bikes next year. We were really hoping BMW would update the GS series more than they did. Our bikes have remained mainly the same since 2008. For us, the Triumph Tiger 800XC that we took on our summer adventure this year is the front-runner mainly because of the adjustable seat and comfort.
I just really do not like the Tiger’s ABS set up to turn it off and some other “minor” pet peeves. No bike is perfect but as far as the street comfort that we are now looking for in a bike the Tiger’s are front in line. We might wait until next Fall and see yet again if BMW makes a move in this market other than raising their base prices. Part of the reason the MSRP has gone up is that all 2012 BMW models will have ABS as standard.
We do like that triple black though 😉
