Thinking of upgrading

[ymfb]

Im thinking of changing my 2011 for a new F800GS and Im interested to know if anyone knows, have BMW uprated the headstock bearings.

My 2011 had a new set fitted ages ago and looks like it might need some more later this year.

Cheers

I would probably wait to have a closer look at the Africa Twin when it comes out.....

I never go for anything that has, just come out, more often than not there are issues to be resolved and I don't want to be Beta testing for Honda or anyone else. I have two friends who swear by the old Africa Twin.

The F800GS has plenty of power for my needs, it's Achilles heel on the earlier models was the headstock bearings, hopefully the issue has been addressed.
