had a ride on a f800gs on Friday from Clark's first impression was how light compared to my 1150 so of i go and first thing i notice is the throttle is very sensitive then into an island and its not so planted but hay soon get used to that, the next thing i notice is that it has vibes 
i like the riding position but think it must have the lower seat as not as much leg room but i do some town and then some dual track some A roads all OK but then found a very wet and muddy single track road BRILLIANT this is where the lack of weight comes in i don't ride of road but do like to find roads like this so then wend my way back to the shop with a VERY dirty gs 
.
I set of home on the 1150 after a very enjoyable hour or so then as i am riding home i realize how much i love my old 1150 and so i will not be swapping it for a 800gs in the near future, on its own the 800 is a very good bike but not for me (at the moment until the 1150 is to heavy for me
) must try a 1200 next.

If you want the sofa experience then either stay at home, drive a car... or as has been pointed out here ride a 1200 GSA
