Tpoppa Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Junk. All that Bavarian scrap is junk.Hate to say it but I am starting to believe this. I tried to buy a loaded F800S last week. There are sooo many known problems on that bike it's scary. Apparently the pistons aren't sized correctly on some years and the motor will start eating itself around 10k 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I thought the belt drive on the F800 was pretty cool until I found out new belts are $450 each. I don't hate chains that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie14 Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) I have a couple of buddies that have had R1200GS adventures, and they love them. They seem to be well represented in the Iron Butt rides.I personally have had a lot of good luck with Hondas and a couple of Kawasakis. After having shaft drive, it is hard to go to anything else.
