PROJECT SUMMARY

Gallery8Given all the changes and added protection, this mid-size adventure now weighs about the same as a stock R1200GS, but still under the R1200GS Adventure when similarly equipped and at less cost. Building an adventurer bike is a personal experience and for every change there is a price or compromise. In this case the compromise is the additional weight of the bike as well as a big hole in my pocketbook. When building your next adventure bike start with how you intend to use it before setting the budget. Although this may be my ultimate Adventure bike today, tomorrow my take me to new places where I want something simple and light… or maybe I’ll want a mega pavement burner. For now, when I’m asked about my dream adventure bike, I and just point at the F800GS Adventure and say “there it is, I have it!”
