lvnvbiker Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I am realy killing myself trying to come up with a good reason to get the F800GS, and now I am having more trouble due to a NEED to have one of these also. OK, so if I sell the RT I can justify the 800GS as a work bike because of the dirt and dust. Do you think the 1000 will have a comfy pillion? Link to comment
