    Bmw F800gs

    It's finally here - BMW have announced their 800 trailie - I think it looks good.

    That is a nice looking machine...
    Upside down forks too.. if the rest of the specs are that good then Anubis may be in trouble.

    Oooohhhh. It does look good! After all the PhotoShop chops of it looking like the R1200GS (road bike) I was afraid they would pull some kind of Transalp 700 on us. This doesn't look like that at least. It will be interesting to see the specs (and price....).

    Paralell twin..... nah... not for me.... and that end can looks vulnerable and obtrusive....

    the guzzi looks ancient... not even neo-retro
