2009 F800R chain driven

Lot of people were also guessing & hoping it would use a GS style trellis frame. Looks like not.

 

Anyhow, in that short report the most interesting bike, I think, was the KTM 990 SMT.

If that has big enough tank and comes with side cases it could have some real "beat the GS" potential.

 

[Edit]

Ah, 19 liters... just about 5 gallons. I would have hoped for a gallon more but that's not TOO bad.

And here's a picture:

it was looking really good (i mean the f800r) until i realized they replaced the bmw signal light switches with that lower grade design common to japanese m/c's, let face it; it took some to time to get back into the bmw groove and now they went all switch- by-tokyo on us... i'm disappointed.

 

now on the other hand; it looks like a great bike, size, hp and all
