Misleading advertising from new 800 GS

You are going to love this: from the South African BWM website: specs on the F800 G/S include this gem:

'The reflectors, familiar from the BMW R 1200 GS and loved by night-time drivers because of their superb use of light.....'

If you look at BMW web site re R1200 GS Adventure, look at the colour of the silver and black one and then look at the colour of the seat. Some pictures show the seats as grey on top and black on the bottom and others on the site show the black on top and grey on bottom, god knows which is right!!!!!!!!!!!

And I thought Germans didn't have a sense of humour

the lights and reflectors are fine, there are just not enough of them!

Vines of Guildford, in their technical spec, describe it as a boxer twin...... are you sure??

There is a proven direct correlation between how glamourous & sunny a venue is for bike launch and how good / accurate the reviews are for said machine.

eg launch in south Africa = review full of more BS than the Old testament
