I like it

I am not convinced about the tiny little bashplate though

Even so I am Number three on the waiting list at BMW

I have to admit, I'm starting to like this bike quite a lot. To me, an 800 makes more sense than a 650. It will be much better for longer distance touring, except it only has a 18l tank. I've been wondering about upgrading, as in more cc's, for a while now....

Nice looking bike!!

Good in my book (guessing from pics):

21 inch front wheel
Upsidedown forks in fronk
Fuel Tank under seat (low centre of gravity
Air Intakes nice and high on the bike
Chain Drive
Good looking instrument cluster
Power socket up near handle bars

Bad in my book (guessing from pics):

Bash plat design looks even worse than the 1200
Crappy looking foot pegs
No protection behind front wheel (Oil filter etc very exposed to stones)

Just guessing, lets wait and see what the specs look like....

And you carry a paddock stand with you

I noticed that.

In some picks it is not there $:-\$

That centre stand is going to scrape way before the foot pegs...

Is that black pipework beneath the bike REALLY a centre stand???
If it is, you're going to lose it in no time on serious off road.

It looks really good

The front brake reservoir looks like an ugly zit though

Can anyone see a clutch master cylinder?
