2013 BMW F 800 GT - Review - rideXdrive

In 2013 when BMW sought to revamp their F 800 ST by removing a bit of sport and adding a bit of grand, they gave us the 2013 F 800 GT. In this video we give you a review of and go for a ride with the F 800 GT. 2013 F 800 GT.

A motorcycle review that feels like it comes from a real person. Pretty nice.

If all reviews were like this, I wouldn't ask for more. Thank you for your hard, smart and right on the spot work!

2016 f800gt is my 29th motorcycle and definitely the best. Put 32, 000 k on last year can’t wait to ride its winter in Canada

Lovely review.
Just put a deposit down on a 2015 bike.
Interesting footnote; due to my buying it for a substantial daily work commute, I did searches to find out how many miles these bikes have clocked up.
Found a thread where a few owners had managed 200k miles - absolutely remarkable.

Then one bloke posted a clip of a chap who filmed his bike clearing the 600k km mark - 375 thousand miles.

Absolutely staggering. Everyone I've spoken to who has any experience with this bike rates the engine as one of the best and incredibly reliable. Looking forward to picking it up in a few days.

I have owned my 2015 F800GT since new and am very pleased with it. The belt drive is maintenance free and clean.

woow i really wish you the best! one of the best bike reviews i ever see on youtube... it's so refreshing watching someone talking like a human being and not just a wheelie monster adrenaline junkie when it comes to motorcycles!

[alexandertsapin]

Great review! I like the sound management - it ts a pleasure to listen to this review. A lot of useful information without too much unnecessary details. Thanks!

[Plasmo]

Not a lot has changed since my 2007 then, Still low end forks, no mention of driveline slack..They really havent done much in more than a decade, amazing really.

[davemartin]

Excellent video thanks very much from London UK

[powerforward]

Outstanding review! Thanks a million. This was meaningful, very helpful and delivered just right. Kudos!

Great bike for twisties and around town, but at highway speeds, the buzz in the handlebars is rough. Once you hit 4000+ RPM, the vibrations get progressively worse, making cruising at 60+ mph pretty uncomfortable. It's a shame BMW didn’t smooth out those gnarly vibes in the twin-cylinder design.

Very well done, thought-out review. Thanks. I'm considering one.

[ivancardenas]

This bike looks mature sporty.!!! Very beautiful style

Real nice review of a really good if not understated bike. I am currently looking for one to replace my Tiger 1200 XRT that we rode through France and over the Pyrenees two up. Now my partner has her own bike and wants to tour Scotland, I have come to realise that the F800 GT is exactly what we need as I can carry everything on it so Tam can just ride. Very easy and grounded video and very well produced. Keep up the great work.
Kind regards Paul (from the UK)

Great review and accurate take on the bike. Happy riding.

I just bought a used F800GT, I'm impressed with it's tech, comfort and styling. As with other BMW's I've owned the note of the engine isn't my favorite (best-Ducati 900 SSFE) Also, to note that this bike can be had for half of a midrange e-bike!

[sierrafoxtrotgolf]

Excellent and informative! Thank you.

[TheLancebringer]

Perfect review. I hated all the other reviewers videos.

[hereandthere]

Hi. Thanks for this. I'm thinking of getting one to replace my 1200GS. A couple of questions - how tall are you and do think the F800GT would be comfortable for 6' 2" rider with 33" inside leg?

[rogerkay]

I like mine (2017GT SE), it does everything well, is smooth, quick, belt just don't love it and I can't decide
