The legendary GS gets even more legendary with the incredible new F 800 GS. It's lean, it's mean and it's ready to ride, around the block over the mountain passes or accross New Zealand, this puppy can handle it comfortably. With a lightweight design and eye-opening power, the 800 GS is the best overall adventure touring GS ever built. A parallel twin engine with 85 charging horses and 62 lb/feet of torque give it startling speed and breathtaking acceleration. Throw in a dry weight of just 392 lbs, six-speed gear box, switchable ABS (if available), wide foot rests and a 4.2 gallon tank located under the seat for a low centre of gravity, and you get an enduro light enough for amazing handling no matter where you're headed. If you want all the capabilities of the GS in a lighter, tighter package, then the F800 GS is your ride.

Our F800 GS comes as standard with Givi side luggage and the option to add a Givi top box if required. With or without ABS, also has a lowered seat option, when booking ask for these options specifically,  first come first serve basis. Our opinion of the 800 GS is it's a fantastic bike and it can certainly tour well, it is comfortable and performs better than any other GS, it may be a little tall for some, so consider this when booking, plenty of experience is essential.
