In Jan I prematurely sold my KLE500 while waiting for my F800 to arrive end of March, just to be told that they cannot give me a date as there is a long waiting list and only 2 a month is coming in. After the first test ride I was not so imprest and could not warrant waiting indefinitely for my turn.

Subsequently I got myself a KLR650 (5000km) for the bush and just 2 weeks ago a Versys (700km on clock and an awsome toy in town and a serious contender to the GS1200 for comfort on the open road) 

So yesterday I get a phone call from BMW PE to tell me I must come and sign for my F800 as it will be here on the 15th July, And this just when I made peace with myself.

The question now is: Do I stick to what I have or sell and get the F800Gs

I booked I test drive for Saturday and will take the missus with to "investigate" the pillion comfort side, and to put my mind at rest once and for all.

Just in case I decide to stick with what I have, I would like to offer some Wilddog the opportunity to jump the Q. I will have a confirmed, non changeable decision by 12'o Clock Sat.

This .......... or F800GS ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
