BMW F 800 GS Adventure

This entry is part 17 of 321 in the series Adventure Rider Issue #1

Improving BMW’s F800GS was never going to be easy. It was a great bike when it first hit dealer floors back in 2008. The motor was smooth and torquey, the bike was big and stable but felt slim compared to it’s big-brother 1200, and, being a BMW, it was beautifully engineered and very quiet and comfortable.

What could be done to improve a bike like that? Offer it in an adventure format, of course. Bigger fuel capacity, more rugged crash protection, boosted lighting and more technological gadgetry.The new gear on the 2014 F800GS Adventure works, and whether your riding is commuting or death-before-DNF adventure epics, the additions to the standard 800 are big winners.

Above: The extra protection for engine and bodywork is easy to see, but the new electronic rider aids make just as big a difference.
