I very recently acquired a F800GS (2013 model). It still has brand new anakee tyres on. I went for a quick off-road (see dirt road) trip with my brother-in-law over the weekend. I did notice that the bike handled well on the harder surfaces but felt (see inexperienced dirt rider) unstable on the more sandy patches. I kept my speed between 30 and 60 kph when I hit the sandy patches. I also disabled the ABS and Traction assist (I think that is what you call it).
My question is as follows (aside fromt he obvious need to go for a bit of training):
Would it be a good idea (yes, I know it will be expensive) to get a second set of rims that I can put knobbly tyres on and swop out the rims when we go riding off road. The off-road trips will be few and far between as I will be spending a lot more time on the tar road communting.
