Good choice, great 'bike, I hope you have many miles'n smiles together. Keep us all posted as to just how you get on
Nice to see you today, ta for my birfday 'ug
Micky - You know I'll keep you updated. May even do some miles with you and the boys (if you'll let me join in 
)
Wookie - I could have taken delivery in January, but don't want it till March. It was the only one they had available though, so you may want to check with your dealer to see what allocation they have.

New bike...
Hi all
Px'd my F650GS last week, for nice new grey F800GS.
Went for first real ride - 220 mile round trip yesterday/today, so thats 240 miles on the clock! Weather was awful but bike was excellent.
Didnt find the seat too uncomfortable, and hard to tell if I need a taller screen as the wind was from all directions, coupled with the rain.
One problem I found I need to extend mirrors about two inches so any ideas? I seem to recall motobins or another selling extenders.
All in all a brilliant bike, even better when it's run-in!

New bikes
My partner and I have just collected our two new F800GS and F650GS bikes from Ocean in Plymouth. So far (150 miles) so good. We'll leave the off road experience until the end of April when we will take part in the basic BMW off-road school in Wales. After that? Spain and Morocco for May and June. We cannot wait
Details:
F800GS
yellow & black, heated grips, centre stand, ABS, large hand guards, onboard computer, akrapovic exhaust, BMW aluminium panniers, BMW aluminium bash plate. Ordered: Adventure-spec crash guards.
F650GS
azure blue, heated grips, centre stand, ABS, large hand guards, onboard computer, BMW black expandable panniers, white indicators, tyre pressure warning system, low seat. To be ordered: crash bars - could be Adventure-spec depending on how they look on the 800 or possibly Metal Mule.

You should stick a bash plate on the F650GS, especially seeing as it has less ground clearance. You could put on the plastic plate from the F800GS.

Very nice. Yellow in the 800 though? The magnesium ones are faster I think. 
Can vouch for the adventure spec bars on the 800. Look great, and they work too!

Collection of my brand new F650GS twin
I collect my brand new F650GS this Saturday and I was just wondering if there is anything I need to look out for in the first few months/miles of the bikes life. I believe there was an issue of stalling, but don’t really know of anything else.
If anyone has had any problems or minor issues that they can point out, then I would be very grateful. Also, if there is anything I need to check with the dealers before riding off into the sunset
I will be collecting it from Southport and riding about 70 miles back home, so I don’t want any drama’s on the way home…
Cheers

There are some issues with the F650 - well documented in this forum. However, the first ride of a new bike is a unique event to be savoured. My advice is to enjoy it to the full and not to worry about what might happen - because it almost certainly won't.

Me too!
I'll pick up my new 650GS from Southport on Saturday. I can't wait.
Maybe I'll see you there?

Good luck with the new bike. If you get any problems, please let me know, likewise I will let you know if there is anything to keep your eye on.
Enjoy your first ride!!
