six years in on one of these. Best bike I have had in 40 years. One word: Torque.

I know this video is old but I still have mine. Admittedly don’t ride much at all any more. This was my upgrade after my 620 Monster. Absolutely love this bike!

Hey folks! Thanks for watching and hitting that like button! 11/2021 update: I did have one major issue recently around 35k miles. While riding, my ABS light would turn on while the speedometer and odometer stopped working. It would happen periodically, until finally stayed that way. Months of troubleshooting. Finally determined it was the ABS Module. Very expensive part, but found one used. Hope this helps if any fellow F800 riders have this problem!

Great review. Thanks!
I’ve been riding a 2007 ST for a few years now and I love it. It’s pretty light and nimble and the Rotax engine provides lots of torque. The signals really bugged me so I swapped the horn button with the signal cancel one. Now I can cancel the signal with my left hand and that’s much better!

My brother has an F800ST. Occasionally when we go for a ride together we will swap bikes. I am always happy to get back on my Hayabusa.

Just snagged a 2012 for 4200 and I'm loving it

Hey there I’m the new owner of your beloved f800st I bought her a few weeks ago and have been doing inspections and maintenance for the spring. She’s still in beautiful condition. Thank you for taking good care of her ❤

[kevinbrennan]

Honest and great review. Plan to take mine around Australia next year after lockdown. Have the 09 model, and it has never let me down.

Loved intro music from "RASH". Yes Neil was great motorcycle inspiration

Splendid! Thank you for a realistic and down-to-earth review of these great BMW motorcycles. They, along with the 650 singles are a little different to what many expect of a German bike, but good in their own way nonetheless. I was so amused by your comment that Harley riders probably would not bother to wave...and there I was thinking that Americans were always oh so polite!

Thank you for the review. Having never ridden a bigger (than 150cc) twin engine, I was worried about vibrations since I was coming to this bike from an inline 4. But the vibrations are not any worse, while the torque improvement is great!
More importantly, thank you so much for the book recommendation! I just borrowed it from my library and the first few pages have been very engaging. I love the band so I can't wait to get an intimate look inside their lyricist's mind.

I bought a used 2012 as my commuter just love it! Great bags I wish they kept using. They are narrow for lane splitting but can expand to hold helmet and gear. Newer bikes have TFTs and there’s always someone faster but handling and the torque on this middle weight bike makes both road trips and riding in traffic a breeze!

Great review. I just bought a 2017 F800GT down here in Sydney, Australia - and did a 300Km (185 mile) coastal and mountain ride on it last weekend. Awesome all-rounder and partner friendly! I previously had a Yammie MT09 and needed to tone things down a bit.... :)

[darylnorman]

Great review and spot on. Just bought one of these myself. It’s great! Does pretty much everything very well. It’s a great looking bike as well. Even my daughters think it looks cool.

[WomanSurvivor]

I appreciate this detail review...I’m looking at this bike now & this gave me a good idea of if I want this bike

[rubberneck]

Great review. One for sale locally at giveaway price. Only thing stopping me is I have other bikes but obviously watching reviews means I'm still tempted

[francisgerace]

Good to see a Mass. rider out there.
I am looking at a 2013 new old stock one now. Looks like a great bike.

[Jonno-Bass]

Rush! Test For Echo. Nice choice of music dude! And I've read that book.😊

[romainguichon]

Thanks for the review, looking for buying one in France.
