If the price was right ( very doubtfull) & the build quality old school BMW , I would be tempted .

It's like a Transformer. I wonder what it looks like in bike form?

Getting back to the F800, here's a great video of Chritian Pfeiffer on the slightly modded naked version (of which they're going to make apparently):

Now this bike sounds great, looks great, and coming from BMW is a revelation.

F800 S £5,995

F800 ST £6,495

Ouch. I keep on wondering why they say this bike is a SV rival.
On paper i guess but the price puts it in SS600 bracket. And BMW don't do price cuts.

Should keep it's value though.

For a BMW it's cheap. And rather special IMO.

All the BMW range looks pricey to me

I think the F800 has it's charms but it is up against some top Jap rivals.

You have to really want that prop badge to crawl over a SV thousand.
