2014 BMW F800GS Adventure Off-Road Test! | On Two Wheels

Motorcyclist Magazine's Zack Courts takes On Two Wheels back to the dirt to find out how the 2014 BMW F800GS Adventure really stacks up when the going gets tough. Can you jump a bike with saddlebags? Ride along with Zack and find out if this "adventure" bike is really capable of going anywhere, or if it's all bark and no bite.

When you pick one up on Craig's list for $10k that looks like it never went further than Starbucks it makes even more sense. I've had mine for 3 years and love it. I found ways to cut weight big time. Full knobs, 18" rear wheel upgraded front forks and it freaking shreds the dirt.

Hey Zack!!! There are many out there, but no one does the job as well as Zack and Ari...

And you are my favorite!!!

Cant wait for the next video where you take it off road.

Nice one Zman! May pick one up as 2nd bike for blasting truck trails and back roads. Very capable and flexible.

I just picked up a 2016 f800gs adventure w/< 10, 000 miles . It's perfect and lots of aftermarket bits with a branded title for 8000 bucks. I like it 👌

Fantastic to see you guys have a new home! One of my favorite shows on the interwebs =). Love the magazine as well.

Really enjoyed this video, even if a bit old now!

Adventure bike doesn't age. If you're telling me this bike release in 2020, I'd believe you.

Im a fan. pointed review. Im shopping my F800S for the GS pretty soon

[TeamGreenBurrito]

That's Silverado Canyon Rd. my old neighborhood. Hardly the toughest test for a beast of a bike like that, but hey.

The F800GS ADV looks a bit more nimble than my 2003 R1150GS ADV, but the R1150GS handles 85 mph on the interstate much better. No vibration, and plenty of torque at high speeds. The F800GS will handle rough ground better. Since I have to cross three States to get to my favorite mountain vacation spots, the R1150GS ADV is for me the better choice.

I'm still waiting for the "off-road" part. Is that in part 2 or what?

"Use a map like a real man."  I love that.

"Police's riot shield in third world country" LMAOOOO

[Turbomag]

Half asssed sales pitch by the rider BMW "will take you places you've never been" So he is saying Bultaco, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Honda etc were incapable of off road...

[michaelblencowe]

I want one of those bad!!! Someday maybe. Guess my 250 dual sport will have to suffice for now.

[cosmodave]

How bout buy two bikes for the same amount and use the buddy system in case there's ever a problem?

[Rob]

Great review. One of the best I've seen.

[GonzoGev]

U dropped that expensive bike on the ground, don`t U? :D
