F800X??

[F800 Rob]

It's the SW-Motech prototype bike. The red stuff won't be available in red. It's black or aluminum finish only.

Btw, looking at the rear tire, it seems this guy has done some mileage already

TKC80s...so he's probably done about 600 miles to get to that level of wear

 

[twisticles]

I guess with all the accessories and paint job he couldn't afford the exhaust upgrade then

they did say that it "took the owner hours to decide what colour to respray and what standard accessories to fit"
If I had a limited budget I would have also left the exhaust as standard...

Don't Touratech do different coloured plastic panels for the F800?

The Remus Hexacone is the best thing I've done and probably will ever do to mine. There is no paintjob or accessories that can come close to the satisfaction this Remus gives. It really seems like a whole new bike!

I wouldn't have the paintjob done myself either, but if the bike will be a try "adventure" bike and it will be taken off-road, I rather put some protection first and then, if I still have budget left, upgrade the exhaust.
And yes, I have seen that Remus and it does looks great! but in my case I have a lot of other gear and equipment to buy first before I can even change the tyres

I'm sure i risk get an off topic icon but can you go into detail. You make it sound amazing. What is the exhaust like is the bike noticeably more powerful? better sound etc...

I want to have mine re-painted. All yellow parts painted orange (inherited love for the color from my KTMs).

I saw an R1200GS painted orange and it looked incredible!!!

I'll post pictures when I get mine done...

There's an orange photoshop version here (scroll down a bit), the real thing will probably look much better though.

Yup... something like that. The R1200GS I saw at our local dealer looked a lot better!

Check this one out, I think I like that white version a bit more.

And that one seems to have the Remus exhaust as well!

Cheers.
