Thanks for the upload and honest opinions, I'm thinking about getting one of these and thinning my bike collection down too 👍

Thanks for a nice presentation!, have had mine about 4 months now and love the thing!

Love mine. Have had it since 2009. It's my 8th motorcycle. Best allrounder I've ever owned. It rocks on gravel and curvy roads, it's decent offroad, and good enough on the highway.

I'm so excited to pick up a used 2013 this coming weekend. I've owned 4 bikes before this one, going from ninjas to dr650 to sv650, and I test rode it last weekend and fell in love _instantly_. I almost went with a KLR650, then almost put a deposit down on the tenere 700 despite having to wait 6 months for delivery, and I am sooo glad I decided to go test ride the GS first. Love at first rev (and corner). It felt like an old glove.

This bike needs to be on my list of next bikes. Amazing video as always!

WOW, great review, and cinematic quality. Amazing job!

Thank you for uploading this. I just did an approximately 3000km round trip northern Germany to Tuscany and back. Crossing the Alps twice. Absolutely loved it. Great bike. My top tip is to get a lambskin from your local tanner and strap it to the seat with velcro. Riding for hours and hours is not a problem.

Just came accross this video because I just got a bike like this. your cinematography is AMAZING.

Great video! Was looking for some proper review on an older f800gs model since I consider buying one. Cheers!

well done review! I thanks for the journey into your bike

Great review and great video, the work you put into this really shows

the video quality was🔥 Good stuff guys. Was tossing between the F800r and this. I'm no closer but this video was great.

Extremely well shot and produced video !!!!!!!!!!

My dream bike since i was in high school (basically when it first came out)..

I’m shocked you don’t have a million subs great video

I got mine a month ago, and had an accident one week later (a lady didn't see her stop sign) but still going to buy the 800 beemer. Great video, the whole cinematography reminded me of Ryan's from FortNine and trust me, this is a compliment.

Bryce seems like a dude I would like to go on a ride somewhere with. Great video. I'm picking up one of these this weekend and I'm pumped!

This is production quality superior of your views! Also, I´m drooling over this bike

Great vid mate… enjoyed it! And helped me decide my next bike.

I totally agree, Love my Boogs. Cant get enough of it

This was awesome!

I love my f800r. Can’t help but wonder how awesome the GS version would be.

I own this motorcycle 30th anniversary 2010 until now 2021♥️🇲🇾

Great video, thanks for sharing! I live in the Colorado desert, and 10 minutes from my home incredible trails begin. My dual sport bike of choice is a 2018 KTM 350 EXC-F...super light and with a few mods, has more power than most off-road riders have the skills to use. I have been riding for nearly 55 years and have owned many different bikes. The problem with 'adventure' bikes like the BMW F800GS and others in its class, it is too heavy for any meaningful or quasi technical trails, unless you are an expert rider. So...I recommend having two motorcycles, this bike or one like it, and a lightweight dual sport bike like a KTM for dedicated off-road adventures. I have always driven a vehicle that can transport the KTM on a trailer hitch carrier, so I am very happy to never spend much time on the road, and more time on the dirt.

Awesome vid. Good points raised. Good info.

Perfect review! Helped me to take My decision to buy.

Tenho uma há um mês e meio...versão de 2017...mesmo das últimas f800gs. Que mota !!! Muito prática...fácil de conduzir...excelentes consumos...e desejando de trocar o escape de origem!

Damn those edits🔥🔥

That opening shot was straight up movie magic what the hell!!!

Love your video's. Hope you still have the DR (think i spotted it a few times in this vid!).

Great production engaging subject ,you deserve a hell of a lot more than 27 views and 1400 subscribers. Two thumbs up.

I do have 2010 F800GS with the same beautiful color. It is my 3rd and overall first Adventure/Enduro bike and it is absolutely amazing.

Such great content on this channel.

I am f800gs owner! And really love it 💓 All the performance of this bike is more than enough. It's tough bike and very reliable.

Just recently completed a long distance trip on my 2009 f800gs, I felt in love with the bike again, so nimble, and quiet, perfect low center of gravity great power to weight ratio and very reliable 🏍️

The F 800 GS has always been underestimated. I have been driving it for 6 years and have driven over 80,000 km with it. She is perfect... great movie ... great camera work!!!

I have a 2008, one previous owner to me, who only gave it light use. It’s always a gamble when buying a bike, a test ride won’t give the the info needed , this video says it all. I’ve done very few mods to mine, shows BMW got it right.

7:46 there’s my like man. Great video btw (thinking of buying this in this exact colors)

I like the vidéo. Thank you.f800 is son cool not heavy.Nice bike

Nice review, I’m looking to switch my bike to a gs800 and your review just addressed every point I was looking for; how do you think about suspension being too soft? I have seen many people complaining about it

i bought one, (2011 model) 2 days ago. even in this short time. i can honestly say, its a perfect bike

Great video, i love my f800gs 👍😊

So underrated channel !

Love the F800GS... 🤠👍 Top vide mate...

I have , from new, a 2010 F800 GS and i have to say I too really love this bike. I love its looks, riding characteristics and abilities. I keep her in NYC where i am part of the year and she's an amazing urban machine ducking in-between bumpy traffic and taxis like an antelope dodging Crocs! I did, years ago put Ohlins front and rear suspension on her and man, is that an upgrade to which can all be adjusted how i like and need. (I highly recommend this mod). Furthermore, this summer 21, i actually rode up to Vermont and did a hairy 3 days of BDR Vermont riding and wowww, aside from the "holy shit" technical terrain, and dropping the gear laden bike some 7 times and permanently damaging my side panniers, She, the bike was rather flawless! Always starting right up after taking beatings on and through wet rocky steep riverbed terrain. I have a new fondness and respect for her and i will close by saying that i have actually bonded quite deeply with this bike. More so than my two other pricier, larger bikes. Not sure how common that is or why but , all I can say is she will soon be vintage' and so will I. I still to this day turn around after parking her outside my downtown door and gaze at her sharp and capable lines, often. GS Power forever!. (My only niggle is a little more power on the highway would be welcomed , but she can go quite nicely non the less w/ an added Remus race exhaust, K&M filter and a remapping chip, i think i squeezed an extra 6 or so HP out of her). Thank you for your entertaining and unpretentious video of a real gem of a bike* Mh aka VB

BEST OF BEST 💪🏼

Absolutely beautiful intro! 😳

superb video and great bike

i could not agree more with you. Our options are KTM 790 and Tenere 700 with a minimum spent of 12.000 considering that your will have to buy all the accessories around the bike! And compared to T7 it has a longer front suspension!

This might be the best all around bike ever!

You are an outstanding film artist. Any more DR 650 videos coming up? I'd be interested to see what mods you've made. Are you thinking of getting a windscreen? Regards from a fellow Edmontonian.

Fucsia, I'm going to buy one this week !

Just came across this video... I've had my yellow and black, '09, f800gs for about 6-1/2 years now. No rider aids, no abs to think about, kind of a mix of old school and new. I keep thinking I need to get something different, but it does everything I need it to do... I want a drz400, then realize that I already have 2 drz' s between my legs. I'd like a new ktm 890, but I already have this Beemer f800gs farkled out (and it was a bit more than half the price for all of it...) It does fine for my skills on the trails and forest roads here in the Colorado rockies and also does my 50 mile commute (100 miles a day, 5000' elevation rise to work) in rain or shine! I still would like something new, but can't justify it... It's a big pig, but so am I... I guess, I'm content! 😊 For now...

I have a 08' klr 650. Do you think is a good idea to buy a 2009 f800 like yours.? 50k miles on it. Some issues in the digital panel.

How it looks? It looks awesome and last bike you'll buy cos it does everything well somethings very well.

I purchased a 2009 yellow one like this in February because I did not want to wait for the Tenere 700. Put a cartridge kit and 50/50 tires, and the off road ability goes way up.

I have my good old 2007 F800GS I have owned several bikes but notthing beats F800GS when it comes to PRACTICALITIES. Undoubtedly one of the best bike.

Great video.

I use my gsa 2017 adventure like a enduro I.am 6.6 and 127kg so it's a little bike for me to handle love it and wouldn't change it for 20k 1250r I take my bike where a 1200 can't even dream about.

I have F800gs with over 100k kms on it. It still rides well. Great fuel consumption. I love it. I still have it although I bought another bike.

Great production, I too am looking to buy a 2009 F 800, i loved your helmet, and i want to know where can i find it

Fantastic video. I have an F800GSA and feel the same way. BMW got it right over a decade ago. I sometimes find myself a little envious of some of the new tech, but at the end of the day, the new bikes don't do anything that mine doesn't do well already. I know I'd take a huge bath on the depreciation, and I would rather put that money back into this bike instead. Full suspension upgrade is next. Some days I wish it had 20 more HP or weighed 100 lbs less, but everything is a compromise and at the end of the day this is an excellent "do it all" bike.

I have a 2012 in the rally colour scheme, it’s immaculate for its age, low kms and I’m waiting for borders to open so I can plan some trips.

Great video man!! Keep it up! Just a quick question..do you believe that i can drive this bike with my height?? I am 170centimeters tall.

Im close to buy an exact model that have been sitting in a garage with 900miles, not sure if the low mileage is worth it, since this type of motorcycle could brake because the lack of use. Maybe that’s not an issue on a German bike but not sure. Thanks for the video.

Hi, does the seat height of the bike give you any problems? I'm 5.10" with an inside leg of 30 inches, does it sag as soon as you sit on it? Thanks

I agree with 100% of what u said. I took my 800 for a 3300 km long trip this summer, up to the north of Sweden. No problem. I use it on gravel and trails. No issues at all. Nice and simple. I also commute in a town with about 750k people in it. Works fine. The only thing I would wish for is a few pounds lighter. I am 6 feet, and at a stop in uneven terrain...well it gets heavy fast when youre at tippytoes...

I agree on most points made in this, but - might be me - 8h of highway numbs my butt down like... well. i was exploring the italian alps with a bud on his honda ST1100 and more than once I would have loved to sacrifice my weight advantage for his plusher bench. On a 8h highway trip I'd prefer any street(only)' bike, even my wives Yamaha FZ-6. Cant imagine a Harley bein worse than The F. Also in my experience the parts are pretty comparably piced to the japanese brands.

a very beautiful bike

At 6.40 ... that's why I sold my 800 and now happily have a DR650. But I still like the 800GS.

Good points, well made. Could one replace my 950 KTM?

How tall is it? I had a Buell Ulysses and I loved her but I could only one foot it. I would really like to put 2 feet down

Previous owner of my Kawasaki had removed the reflectors - the screws to add them back on were $30 from kawasaki. I think Japanese bikes aren't nearly as cheap as people act. They do break parts way less often than bikes from other countries, but they still are expensive to fix.

Just a quick question, how tall are you ? I'm 6'4 95kg currently have 1150 gs adv do you think 800gs would be too smsll

I went riding with a guy once he had a new 800 gs. I thought we were going to ride around a bit but he was gonna show me what his gs could do on trails I guess because is was riding my Yamaha xt250. We hadn’t rode 10 minutes before he dropped it and couldn’t pick it up. So I help him get that heavy ass thing up and he keeps on going then comes to a log and was bound and determined to try to go over it. I said if you get stuck on that log I’m not strong enough to lift it off. So then I helped him get it facing the way we came in and I says I didn’t bring water I need to get out of these hot woods and head back.😆

Only thing I dislike is the indicator switches!

good job man👍🏼

I found one for 7500 can 53k is this a fair price

I wonder if Bryce is still riding his F800gs

Americans hearing 150 on the highway like “whaaaaat?” Lol

If you enjoyed this bike review, check out this review of Logan's DRZ400sm kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7OEqrSAsNjQqXk.html

Do you think it is a beginner friendly bike ?

Whats that studs number?!?!

My 2014 F800GSA is just plain perfect for me. I don't think I'll ever need anything else. In fact, I bought a 2021 Africa Twin and guess which one I'm selling? It's not the BMW.

pretty sure the v strom was there before the f800, do everything, highway capable and mild offroad bike

2012---2021---76000 km no problem I'm still in love 💞 like first day we met

Would love to have seen it with panniers.

It's the first big bike I've owned. At first I thought I would resell it in a year, but now I wonder why I should. It ticks all the boxes...

Hallo zusammen , ich fahre meine jetzt seid 60000 km und bin voll zufrieden...........wenn man erlich darüber nachdenkt braucht man eigendlich nichts anderes . Das ist ein Mopped für alle lebenslagen 😉 . Ich hoffe wir bleiben noch lange zusammen 👍😅

Just bought a 2010 for 5k, needs a new rear ABS sensor and new steering head bearings so no big deal.

I like f800gs from thailand.

Good review. (FortNearly)

Ahead of it's time?? KTM 950 was released 5 years before this!

We literally have the same bike, same helmet and the same jacket.

There are a lot of better bikes for tarmac OR off road out there.But if you want one bike to do it all in a decent way that is the one.

Jeez you’d think an EMT would have been to enough motorcycle accidents not to be riding in a t-shirt, trainers, and jeans!😬

That will do, that will do nicely, ugly duckling😊all the power you'll ever need. I'll stick with my old Transalp 650V till it breaks eventually but i'm definitely not getting a 1200 behemoth. And i can't afford bmw prices, so a used T7 or a new used Alpie.

Looks like a fortnine video
