2008 Bmw F800gs Confirmed!

MCN has confirmed the 2008 BMW F800GS along with a totally new F650GS Twin based on the 800cc Rotax motor. Also coming in 08 is the G450X for Dirt Riders and slightly revamped versions of the 1200GS and 1200GSA. The 800gs looks to have a 21" front wheel by the pics, Dual front Disc's and Single Disc rear, as well as USD front forks and Chain drive - not a Belt. I don't know about the seat - has a narrow, uncomfortable look to me.

450 dirtbike, too!! With the countershaft sprocket in line with the swingarm bearing. No more hugely slack chains. Probably!!

MCN's quite interesting this week.

Still can't bring myself to buy it, though

Re: 2008 Bmw F800gs Confirmed!

Here's a link to a nice pic on another ADVrider thread - I tried to post the pic here but it was over the size limit and I couldn't get it to re-size and still look decent.
