I pulled the trigger on a BMW F800 GS (2008)

[stephen.stallebrass]

I finally pulled the trigger and got a BMW F800 GS!

It's a 2008 with 29K miles, FSH, Metal Mule end can, rack & rails and unknown crash bars (I think they're SW Motech?). HPI clear with certificate, 1 month warranty, 12 months MOT and if I'm not happy with it I can return it within 7 days for a full refund.

I paid £4700 with free delivery, down from £5100. They're even putting in a brand new headlight because they noticed a crack in the glass after I'd paid, which wasn't mentioned in the advert. BARGAIN I reckon!

It's from Bike543 and I dealt with a very lovely lady called Tracy. So far the customer service has been excellent.

I'm on the look out now for some tasty add-ons, mods and farkles. Watch this space...

xXx

Those are Givi crash bars, from personal experience they work, don't ask.

Wouldn't mind knowing what sump guard that is, am planning on getting the same crash bars for mine and want to know what combos work.

Nice clean looking bike tho!

Cheers, yeah your right they're Givi. Its the BMW Enduro bash plate No: 7160 7 702 951.

Thinking about betting the Wild@Heart bars as they provide some protection higher up too. Unfortunately they're a bit pricey... I'll try and get some used ones first? I know they fit together because Lager Meister has this combo over at ADV.

looks very clean. Do we know who's it was?

 

[stephen.stallebrass]

I think I recall her saying it was from someone in Stockport.

Considering the mileage the bike looks immaculate. Fair weather biker by the looks of it. Hope you have many happy miles and in the best colour too...

Many consider the 'Bumblebee' to be the best colour, however the Grey/Silver ones are quicker!

welcome!
Nice bike, should have got a black/silver one though...!

 

[Ceri JC]

Good choice! Looks in considerably better nick than most 29K mile bikes. Hope you have a lot of fun with it.

 

[WindyChuffer]

Nice bike. Stick some knobblies on it, get it dirty and spank it !

Blimey, is that the colour they're meant to be? Can't tell under all the crud and ACF50 on mine...
