Hi all Newbie here, my name is Gary and I live near Boston Lincs. My (new to me ) 2015 F800GT SE with 9000 miles, is being delivered tomorrow. Have had 3 BMW bikes prior to this, but am now retired and getting no younger so have decided to downsize and get something a bit lighter, Looking...

On my way to the local Ace Hardware store this morning I noticed that all of the gas stations that I passed in my town had raised their prices in concert last night by 40 cents a gallon. My local Union Oil station now sells regular fuel for $5.30 a gallon, premium for $5.70 a gallon and diesel...

Good evening (UK time) and thanks for allowing me to join, Actually I've had my F800GT for almost two years and can't really fault it, I only found this site recently but it's quite astonishing the riders/owners come from so many countries, no promises that I can provide any assistance to such...

Hello everyone, I just joined the forum: I own a 2018 F800GT & after initial reservations about the bike I have just completed a 745 mile ride around the Scottish Highlands & now I totally love the bike, it’s a keeper. If anyone would like advice/tips on touring around my neck of the woods I’m...

Just saying hello having joined a couple of weeks ago, and now having brought a F800Gt. I'm really pleased with it, but had never noticed one until a couple of months ago. Now like the two test rides I did on two different bikes, one with, one without ESA, the more I ride it, the more I like it...

I did not recently join but realized I never posted to the introduction thread. I have owned a 2011 F800ST for approximately five years and have benefited from this forum. Thank you to everyone that contributes, and has contributed, their knowledge and experience. J

Yesterday 18/4/2019 I went for a nice bimble to the Super Sausage Cafe on the A5 just outside Towcester. Parked up the bike in a very crowded bike infested parking section of their bike/car park. I noticed a Red F800S 09 plate (very nice) I did wonder who the owner was, but decided food was more...

At the bike club last Thursday, there was a white GT, I had an interesting conversation with the guy, and he does not live far from me Esther. Also at the club, there is another owner of a white GT, he is a member of this site, but he does not post that often, he used to own a blue ST, i forget...

I've just discovered something (for me anyway). If you click on your location it takes you to Google Maps. How's that for clever...

Hey guys[:D]. It's thanks to this forum I decided to buy the F800ST. As it was a bit of an emotional buy there are some things wrong with it. Mostly the lack of care from it's original UK owner as a lot of the bike is covered in rust. Anyway, it's a 2006 bike with 70k km on it, blue color (...

Hi, first post on this forum. I have a 2006 F800ST. Had it for two years now, one longish trip (Brisbane - Canberra, the back way). Happy with most aspects although it suffers from the dreaded stalling syndrome when warm. But, although it has never slipped or slid even a millimetre on me, I...

I just know that I am gonna feel stupid with this one, BUT I've just noticed that the rear tyre valve on my ST is on the near side (L/H side) but on the front its on the offside (R/H side) and I don't remember having this problem, and as I've recently had new tyres fitted, it has me thinking...

Hi All, yet to buy an F series bike. Just sold my R1100GS as I needed something lighter, not sure what yet,but either a GS or ST I expect. Mostly camping trips with BMW Club and friends. Will be trawling for advice. If anyone knows of nice bike available let me know :) Lots of previous BMs...

I'd like to make a modification (eliminating the fender) on my F800GT to make it look like the attached pictures, but I wondering it would be legal since I see no way for the license plate light ? Any idea ?

Hi everyone In my many decades of riding l have never had a BMW so just before Christmas l bought a 2007 F800ST. I also have a Yamaha FZ1 Fazer. So far l like the ST but now spending many hours reading the threads referring to stalling; yes mine does it but as l did not pay a fortune for the...

I mounted a new Cee Baileys 26 inch touring windshield on my 09 ST and noticed a lot of windshield flex at speed. It seems the three screw mount is barely adequate for a tall windshield. I found some flat plastic covered steel brackets in my junk collection and made supports for the windshield...
