Went to my local BMW dealer today for a look at the 800GS, and saw this in the showroom.




Turns out it belongs to the owner, and no, he doesn't want to sell.

Doesn't look like he wants to lean it over either. ;D

Where are the pics of the GS?
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Sorry, once I saw the MH900, the GS just didn't keep my attention.

When I saw the title to this thread my initial reaction was that, "All BMWs are funny looking."  So even though your pics are not of a BMW I needed
to write it anyway.  That is not BMW bashing since I own one of those funny looking machines. 

And where are the pics of the BMW 800 GS?

Wow, is that Aarons new bike?  (Owner is Aaron right?)  Anyways, he is always flipping through bikes and in fact used to stock Ducati's before selling them to Redline.  :-\  

Was the 800GS there because Nolan was supposed to call me when it arrived.

Awe there it is [clap].  Not nearly as ugly as I expected.  Now how can I trade up my F650 for one of those.  Love the red. 
See, I don't hate BMWs. 

Nice MH900 too [thumbsup]

Hey Chris,
I think it's Aaron. Yeah, it's in, Nolan called me this AM, and since I'm supposed to be doing paperwork today, I ran up there ;D
I like the riding position, I just have to find a way to afford it, and afford the insurance.

Jeff,

I'll have to make my way up there to check it out.  I don't know if I should because I'll want one if I see it.

Sorry Angelo,
Always been bad w/names.
At least I didn't call you "dude" [roll]

Yeah, if you don't have the $$$, don't go. The 650 is running just under $10k, and the 800 is 11k and up.
Nice tho!

You'd think a dealer would upgrade to a nice billet pressure plate and SS springs.  ???

To be fair those do look like brand new tires

I was afraid of the 800 being 11k.... Makes me cry!  But on the other hand, it looks like I'll be getting a 696 instead, and that makes me :) !
