Believe it or not, an even better bike for 2017.

We admit astonishment. We were such huge fans of BMW’s F800GS Adventure we were expecting a c’n’g makeover for 2017. For the uninitiated, ‘c’n’g’ stands for ‘colour and graphics’ and before the recent wave of technology advances, c’n’g upgrades were fairly common as an excuse to call a bike a new model, especially in off-roaders.But that’s not the case with the F800GSA.

We should’ve realised after six months or so with the excellent 2016 F800GS that we were in for some real change on the GSA.
