Got my 2008 F800GS in September 2011 with 14,000 on the clock. I have used it for commuting, runs out, camping trips, holidays, and the 2018 globebusters TransAmericas trip. It now has almost 135,000 miles on the clock. There have been two electrical issues and the fuel pump went down (which is a known problem with the early bikes), and the wheel and head bearings have been changed. Which I don’t think of as a problem but as wear&tear. The rest of the bike, particularly the engine, has been stunningly reliable. 85bhp doesn’t sound like much compared to the 1200’s, but in a bike this light it’s plenty. Almost the first thing I did with mine was ride to Orkney with the dearly beloved on the pillion, the mate we were riding with (on a K1) said I was quicker down a windy road than he was really comfortable with. Then on the TransAm I was easily able to keep up with the other guys who were all on 1000cc or bigger. I can see no reason to change the bike for anything newer when it does everything I want and something new would be no better in many respects and cost a lot more.
