I think its a KTM beater

The Schnitzer F800GS gets a custom-made exhaust, 17-inch wheels wearing Conti Race Attack rubber, and WP Suspension tuned for street use. While the bike certainly won’t be as capable off-road as the stock machine, on the street, it should be a bit special…

Costs about 8 but for 9 you can get a KTM 990 but that extra grand gives you only 13 more Break horsies.

Got akras, 17" wheels, conti tyres, WP sussies and it was only 7k.

13hp is a lot in real terms, what weight is the gs ?.

If they are going to try this against a "real"

bike, fetch me the 990 SM.

. rode one on my last service and that is an animal.

TBM Magazine quotes this as ..."the spiritual successor to the much loved Africa Twin"

I'd rather have this than the BMW any day.

True the KTM 990 has been mentioned in the same sentance as the Africa twin, but lets wait 10 years to see if its still named. The GS 800 does push nall the buttons btu unfortunatly there aren't that many around for people to comment on
