Look, no corrosion... ok a little ;-))

Hey guys'n gals.... look at my F800GS

36,000 miles, summer and winter use and no corrosion

Not like the 1200's eh!

Well there is a little corrosion, it's on the centre stand

I did it on der Nurburgring going round the outside of a couple of 1200's and ground the stand down. With this crap weather I aint been able to polish the rust off on the tarmac Well at least the mark on the alloy plate won't go rusty....

Thats really good... My centre stand is a little corroded, but seing as though it scrapes the ground when you put the bike on it, i consider that normal. What a great bike the 800/650 is...

 

[Mr K]

I'm feeling nauseous..

 

[Micky]

Mines corroded and scraped further down where it touches when putting on the stand, and it's scraped on the outside further down when the bike went down the road in Pakistan

The marks above (on both sides) are where the bikes decked out on cornering

Handles just great, even with the 21" front Tourance on

Micky surely you have used a front-engine guard?

It's a bit of an 800 love in day today isn't

But it takes a real man to push a 1200

Your selling aren't you

Micky surely you have used a front-engine guard?

Yeah ... The BMW one designed and made by Touratech. It's on but just out of sight on the photo. Have an extenda fenda fitted too

It's been mucho offroaded but only at my novice level. I'd rather go round the Nurburgring blindfolded than try to keep up on the rough with Fanum or Timolgra
