FortNine this is my bike, well 2010 GS. You nailed something that's so hard to explain, it is a tall, heavy dirt bike...that is old man perfect around town. You nearly killed me with the reality vs expectations bit. Beautiful. I have had a chance to get on the AT yet, but the DCT is enticing. Great review

I actually realised even before I bought my 1200 GSa that the 800 GS probably would be a better choice. It is cheaper, nimbler and of course much better to ride off road. However, I hardly ride off road at all and I simply love my 1200. I love it for the range, for the comfortability, the weight when it is windy, the look of it and because of the engine. Yes, the 800 would have been a better choice in many ways but still....

I drove a BMW F800GSA (2013) for almost 2 years straight: first from the Netherlands to the North Pole in Scandinavia, after that to the most southern point of Europe. Stayed in the Canary Islands for the winter, after that we went through basically the rest of Europe (apart from the Baltic states), Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Iran, Pakistan and finally India. In total it was about 55.000km, I literally had 0 issues with the bike. Apart from basic stuff such as a couple of flat tires and a chain/sprocket replacement. Even the low quality gasoline in countries such as Iran & Pakistan was no problem. It's a FANTASTIC all-rounder; to this day I'm still super happy with it!

4 year old comment, but this is the exact reason why BMW aren't getting my money. It's an ADV bike. It's gonna get beat up, and it's going to need replacement parts because of it. VStrom will let you take that money and put it to gas or gear and not to bmw.

[@howardgreenwood]

I didn't say I was right but my opinion is the opposite. Yes it's well produced and well edited but I want to see the bike not an expo on video editing finesse. I expect a deluge of downvotes but I wanted to express some feed back because I honestly think this guy is one of the best reviewers on KZbin. It's just my take that's all.

[@AlbesADV]

howardgreenwood , he kind of says it right at the beginning that this is not a bike review, I have kind of a review of the regular f800gs on my channel if you need one

[@howardgreenwood]

Albe's Adv I guess he does say that but when the title says bike review I kind of expect that. I'll check out the video you mentioned. :) all good.

[@GerhardCombrink]

I agree with you Albe; I also own a 800GSA and every single comment by Ryan hits the nail on the head. Stats are easy to obtain and mentioned in 85% of every video review out there, no-one needs to spend 5 minutes watching a boring ass repeating them all, again. What is more useful is exactly what you'll find in this incredible review. My conclusion is the same, this bikes imperfections cancel out my imperfections almost perfectly - its Bose noise cancellation in an adventure motorcycle. When I want soppy drool all over my bike I'll take the 1200GSA out, but that stuff is nasty and difficult to clean, I much rather prefer people leave me the hell alone and let me enjoy my solitude and silence when I'm on my time.

[@veselipastir]

@@FortNine Great job, like really great job . I've watched like 60 of your videos in last 2 days and they are all story telling beauties of cinematography. I want to get my bike license and here in Europe (Cro) we have A1 (125 cm/11KW), A2 (35 kW), & A (No limit except age min24 or 20 with A2license for 2 years). Since i'm old and lazy i've went straight for A , which means I learn on bike of min 600 cm3 & 40kw which is hard to control . I already leaned it stopping, as it was 240kg Aprilia Shiver which i found very hard to steer and violent on gas. In the meantime i broke arm in totally unrelated accident and now I'm checking all the cool instructional videos (mostly yours) that will help me master bike riding more then my instructor . Thanks for that . What i didn't check is how to service bikes , like you have what to service and when but it would be really interesting to see details of changing tire , replacing chain, and so on... but on level of detail you do it , minimal effective tools ( as well to have with you in case of emergency fix on long roads) , what to watch out when positioning and why. Personally I plan to buy smaller used bike (eg.Versys-X 300) and do practice on it , getting feel for road and cornering , and then something like this 800GSA to travel the world (midlife crisis) for few months so doing tire swap or some other basic fixes you came up to with your driving history would be much appreciated . All the best in future and safe driving .

Always amazed by your production. Reminds me of the SCR900 video. More entertaining than just a review. Good jobs

[@noahpaez4266]

I've got a 2012 F800GS Trophy, and so much of this review overlaps. I've ridden a 4000 mile road trip and often wished for a larger fuel tank than the pitiful 4gallons, better highway cruising above 75mph, and more oomph on the on ramps. I've wished for more personality in the exhaust and a more exciting power band. But at the end of the day, beyond the essential mods like crashbars, a real bash plate, and a taller windscreen, I really can't bring myself to swap it for something else. The under-the-seat gas tank really provides a unique feeling especially at lower speeds, it's so narrow between the legs allowing me to counterweight further, and although boring the throttle and powerband is so realistically usable. A truly amazing machine.

[@peviens]

[@αυτός-ι9λ]

it can't be more of a creative review than that

[@BTGDale]

When this video came out, I'd already enjoyed my GS800 for over a year, but was still open to the idea of an 'upgrade'. Now it's 2022, I've tried every competitor from Honda, Yamaha, KTM and even BMW (including the 850s and 900s) and I'm still riding my '13 GS800. Admittedly I upgraded the fork springs, fitted a spicy end can, and have 17" wheels for summer tarmac/track duty, but it's a very boring, very dull, very competent motorcycle that seems impossible for me to replace. Love/hate/love.

[@pkaramer]

Paint it.Red.And white.Instant "dullness" removal.Thats what I did !!

[@johnwilde4953]

I’m still in the same place - although I also have a rear shock upgrade. Never stop being told I should buy an KTM890adv by friends and I’ve tried them loads of times, along with the T7 and I just can’t see why I would change? My 800gs just keeps plodding along, doing its thing never making a fuss. It gets abused on the trails and left caked in mud for weeks and rarely misses a beat or fails to start. It gets up all the technical sections the others do and cruises happily on the tarmac in between.

Great review Ryan. I have had my GSA 800 now for 3 years touring all over Europe off road and trail riding and agree with everything. I have tested most other bikes but still can't find anything to come close to it. including the New GS 850 which I found faster but sounds like a bag of spanners. the 1200's are far to big for serious off road or trail riding so I will keep this bike for the forcible future. Cheers Mick (Motoadventure Man)

Have you test ridden the 850? I have a regular 2016 F800 and see no reason to want to change it at all! I love my bike. It just hit 25,000 miles and I'm hoping to push it well past the 100k mark.

J4zz x: Evene though Weltenspinner LPs' user ID indicates he might be german, I think it's quite possible his comment is meant ironical ;)

Casablanca ref ending made my day, man! You are a gem of a reviewer. Ive been away from riding for 10 yrs due to a non riding related back injury. Your content has been inspiring me to take a chance and walk into Rick's Cafe.

[@BruceHoult]

Round up the usual suspects.

[@phsouzabr]

I can't find your review of the Tiger 800?

[@tempestandacomputer6951]

Because there wasn't one

[@Dave-nh7lq]

Totally get your point: some imperfections give a bike character and that BMW F800GS Adventure has tons of it. Great video!

[@jezzsareen7]

One word. Beautiful :')

[@arishghaderi4273]

amazes me how much effort fortnine puts into writing the script for these youtube videos. great going.

[@mangeshkamble5255]

Probably one of the best bike related youtube channel 🤩🤩

[@jayed5990]

Oh heck yes! Stoked you're coming to Van. The streets are much nicer but construction happens 24/7. Find all the best trails and share. You need a riding buddy on this channel though One that's, say, female and 5'3. Just to help with gear reviews. Currently 0.1% of your recommendations work for the aforementioned kind of rider.

[@FortNine]

My wife is female and 5'3... ~RF9

[@jayed5990]

Would she want to help you model gear for women on here??

[@mr7wi]

Hopefully he puts up a touring video for Uculet and Tofino...

[@geraldprost9254]

As you have pointed out picking the best ADV bike is dependant on the rider. You can’t just through down a whack of cash and expect to be happy. I don’t think the average test ride will provide you with a lot of information either. You’re luck you get to ride a lot of bikes, most of us don’t have that luxury.

[@faridb40]

Your details and cinematography make me want to cry. absolutely stunning

[@pavelpiguylevski6570]

Hi Ryan ! Can you do a Triumph Tiger 800 and 1200 review please? Great videos btw!

[@turnpike9680]

I got the GT version of this bike and you're making me love it more, even if it isn't an ADV.

[@greenambles]

Ryan, another wonderfully watchable movie. I don't ride motorbikes yet, though I plan to (Rookie to Rider this year hopefully). I'm not sure if the reality will match up to the expectations but in the meantime I'm really enjoying your narrative, personable and wholly original content - and that's a very qualified statement as I watch a huge amount of motorbike videos. Keep them coming and thank you. (there a significant time-gap between this comment and publish date for the film above, I wonder of your thoughts on the latest f850 gs? And the 750?) Hope Vancouver worked out, it seems so...:-)

[@schabur365]

Loved my F800GSA . Made me look good and be confident beyond my natural abilities off-road. Was it not for BMW’s insanely expensive maintenance and upkeep...I’d probably never have gotten back to my Honda roots. So, I’m genuine thankful to it for both the good and the bad then.

[@HDB112]

Old comment, but feel the need to reply. You are obviously right, but.. The maintenance on the F800GS is pretty easy to do by yourself, if you follow the manual! Especially compared to other BMW models....

[@miru021]

4:39 that is still one of my favorite comments on a video, ever hahaha xD and it is also true.

[@Shane-ln5zz]

That ending was a real tear jerker

[@richardvalitalo3670]

Almost bought one of these. Tossed between 800&1200! Then Honda built the Africa Twin. With dct., fell in love.

[@jimsweet6574]

Hey Ryan! Between you and Dan Dan the Fireman I have become a much better rider and more knowledgeable consumer of all things moto related. I currently own a 2009 BMW F800GS. It's the first bike I've been on in decades (I'm 68 years young) and I'm finding it to be quite nimble for all it's heft. But it's the practice, tips and training I've learned through your videos (and Dan's) that have taken me from being a scared shitless newbie to a far more confident rider. THANKS RYAN!

[@no.love.for.a.nation]

i dont even have a bike and im watching this channel, awesome quality

[@thorstenwanoth6774]

F800GS-A. Very much a more modern interpretation of the older XRV750 Africa Twin. I can see why some people fall in love with certain bikes. The sum of all bike parts equals more. Thanks Ryan for all your contributions to the sport and lifestyle we love.

[@SmokeDiver9311]

Got a 2010 BMW F650GS couple of weeks ago, love it. (Y) It got a but 800cc but why name it 650? someone..

[@jamtree9746]

A beautiful friendship says it all.

[@daymaker5460]

Ryan, I currently ride a 2019 CVO Road glide, now I have no plans to ever ride off road or even on a slightly bumpy road. I did order a BSA Spitfire scrambler at 16 this arrived with straight pipes, no brake light ,headlight, horn, mirrors etc. Large "Knobby "" Tires carried me through God forsaken places and broke most small bones in my body this also cured me of that sport, the year was 1958, since I have been going down only the finest, smoothest highways in North America for 60 years. I love watching your videos the humor is completely Canadian, I have no need of any products you display but the entertainment is brilliant and it confuses our southern neighbors Regards Humphrey B.
