Bleargh!

However, I had a little sit on the F800's from BMW at Motorcycle World on Saturday. The F800S's looking a bit attractive, to me.

I had a test ride on an F800S about 4 weeks ago, whilst it is fine I did not think it was good enough to make me part with my hard earned dosh. The engine goes well but is a bit vibey at 4500-5000 rpm, I don't like the head down a**e up position. I also realised that when a BMW rider peeps his horn he is actually trying to turn left, it's just the stupid indicator switches! Another thing that I found is that when you are out on a run and see the BMW rider get off his bike and walk with a limp, he did not necessarily get the beemer because of a previous injury, it was in fact the left footpeg that digs into his calf every time he puts his foot down. It may have just been the bike I rode but I thought it was fantastically average, and did nothing to any great degree better than my 850 mk2 so I will be keeping it for a while yet.
