![]() A shame because the TRX was ok in my book. You can have a CBF 1000 ABS for the money. BMW is the marmite of biking...you do or you don't. Ok but the price of them just gets me. Too rich for my blood. |

I'd agree with that review having ridden one. Looks sweet in blue (in a slab sided industrial kind of way). 6.5ks a fair amount of dish tho........eek, sounding like the Basket

Agreed that the Yam TRX would have been it's nearest competition, but it no longer exists. But a VFR?
![]() ![]() The S version is under 6k (and I reckon will outsell the slightly ungainly ST by 5-1) and when the R version is announced I'll wager that it will be around £5600 on the road. What I find irritating about the bike press is that if a bike doesn't have more than 100 bhp then it's a "stepping stone" aimed at new riders. Jesus! The Kawasaki H2 750 (one of the wildest bikes they ever made) produced around 72 bhp (yup, virtually the same an SV650). So the F800 with 85 bhp and 62 lb ft of torque (half as much torque again as the SV) is, in my opinion, more than enough to put a big grin on your face and not have to worry about lurid power slides. Perhaps the "F" in the F800 moniker actually stands for Fun?* * Though as it's German, maybe not ![]() . |
