A great fun bike. I think the only downfall is the standard saddle, its hard as hell and after half an hour I just wanted to get off. With a different saddle it would be brilliant.
Sound is ok, but entire exhaust system looks ugly. I think simmetrical twin exhausts under the seat, like for example Yamaha Tenere 660 (even having single cilynder) , look way way cooler. I love f800gs, but would kill those damn designers who did the exhaust system.
He forgot to mention that they burn through charging stators like nobody`s business because of a full fielding (poorly designed) system, they have a mushy suspension that bottoms out on the trail (and are too heavy), and many have engine noises / problems (look it up)! Other than that, it`s still not worth the 14 grand price tag!
