Yes it is the low seat.
The ride home ( very long ) i was ok but starting to feel a bit uncomfortable so might see if i can use standard seat as bahnstomer gave that to me too.
Seems like it's more like 9600 versus 12400 for the basic models... and the 800 comes with racks too...
I just did 295 on mine during running-in. There must have been a couple of litres left too because I could fit 22 in at the filling station! Seems to be averaging about 60mpg with gentle riding.

Does the Adv screen with fittings fit on a later model std f800gs? I see they are offering some good deals on the std models (need the lower chassis spec), and would prefer a better screen.

Another thing is i am still a bit afraid of the bike as the weight difference. I can manage it and put on center stand but struggled to take it off. Any helpful advice would be appreciated. Also is very responsive on throttle.
Will this pass the more i ride her.
Went for another ride to add the miles for the run-in still a way to go though......

This has been well documented elsewhere. Basically, foreign super is the same as our regular.
I have read so much on the subject both for cars and bikes. I have a Renaultsport Clio and have had a Porsche Boxter S and various others and to be honest I have never been able to tell the difference between regular and super in terms of economy and performance. I have noticed the difference in price though!
The reality is that modern engines and their excellent ECUs are more than capable of compensating for either and reducing knocking effectively. There may be a theoretical performance decrease for a lower octane fuel but neither will damage your engine or really change its characteristics.
There are some who rave fanatically about the subject but frankly, there are a large number of other factors on your daily ride which will affect you more!
I could do with losing a few pounds off my tummy. That would be noticeable in the performance stakes!

Bahnstomer has said standard unleaded is fine
i have grave concerns over the slow distribution of images and hereby declare that we require more effort in the aforementioned department
