  • I think the two photos are placed wrongly, GS should be below, R should be on top, considering the passages written doesn’t match the photos.

    If you plan to ride the world unsupported then think weight,simplicity, practical and road-sidea maintenance possible. However if your range is anywhere between 1 to 2 thousand kilometres from your home and go for ‘wow’ factor then this bike is fine tho’ abit pricey imho.

    F800 best bike ever preferred to GS1200 due to weight and agility. I have had one for 3 years now and used it off road in South Africa, Botswana , Mozambique and Swaziland its the bomb. Pity the bike prices in Malaysia is out priced. Same German version in South Africa is only RM 43K
