Anyone get the new Cycle World? They did a comparison of the BMW f800gs and the Triumph Tiger 800xc in Alaska! I don't know about you guys, but I got pretty excited when I saw it in the mail.

i have the f800gs. i love it. i've done some offroading with it, too.
dollar for dollar, there are better bikes out there. the triumph looks like a better bike, when you factor in money. i like the larger power output and the excel rims. i just bought a second set of excel rims for my bike, jeez!!!
hell, the f650gs twin is a better bike, again money as a factor. there's nothing the f800gs can do that the f650gs twin can't do. the only difference is the extra $$$ in your pocket.
i love my GS, though!

My friend used to have a beemer 650. The frame was a bit too small though. I really really like the f800gs though! You have an awesome bike!

I meant the f650gs twin. It has the same engine as the f800gs. That's right...it's a 800cc parallel twin engine. It doesn't have the single cylinder 650 engine like the old f650. That's now called the g650gs. Confused?
It's basically the same freakin' bike.

Yes, thanks for the correction. He had the older one. Your f650gs is very sharp! I just went on the beemer website and checked it out. Strange that they still call it a 650?
