    I've been really thinking about getting an older F800GS. I really like the old headlight style and the ride height.

    Find your video because I was looking for confirmation on my recent purchase. I put a down payment on a 2016 F800 GSA w/1,315mi for $9K. That old a bike will be cheap insurance also. I'm sure I'll like it. BTW, thanks for the purchase affirmation.

    It sure seems that the T7 and 790 tried to reinvent the early F800GS with the low slung gas tank and middle weight parallel twin, focused on offroad instead of touring. U can find a used F800GS for under $5k now with lower center of gravity than T7 and less problems than a 790.

    how did the 'vibrations' do after the placement of the PC? i rode one and the engine was vibey at a good handfull of throttle. it does sound very lively now.

      I do have a different pipe on it so that alters the sound but the pcv has no effect on vibrations.. as soon as you get above 5k it starts vibrating it's just how this engine is

    I bought one and thought it was crap bike front suspension is the problem not adjustable it's much to soft and bouncy so I got rid of it.

    • @Smightification
      @Smightification  7 місяців тому

      Yeah the front suspension is less than desirable but it's better suited bike for off road then most of the 800class at that time

    Do think it is beginner friendly bike?!

    • @Smightification
      @Smightification  2 місяці тому

      Depends on what you are trying to do.. it's not really a beginner bike if you are going to ride adv or dirt roads. I would recommend a drz400 to start out on or something of that nature. I'm not saying it can't be done but it is a tall heavy bike and if you don't have the fundamentals it can easily hurt you

    lol... i wish my policy was only 1000 a year. 2100 bucks... and its a fuckin 400cc underpowered himalayan. only one company is willing to insure me due to not having my full M license(which takes 3 years in canada to achieve). it's such a ripoff. i'm thinking of an f800gs right now but i bet it'll be easily 3 grand a year. i'm 27, no accidents no tickets. i can't imagine how bad it'd be if i were closer to 20.

      It's an acquire taste.. but I will say the r1200gs are amazing but the new ones are iffy on Reliability.. it's a shame

    Better if you talk when your engine makes less noise
