As a new father, 'm selling my beloved F800GS. It has been well used in the last 4 years but also very well taken care of. It runs like a clock and has been nothing but reliable for 30,000 miles. Regular maintenance and oil changes by both the dealer and myself. Only 4 years old. Totally dependable. To outfit a new bike with the same level and quality of gear you'd spend over $22,000. Bluebook is around 9,000, xtras easily bring it to 10,900.
This bike is adventure ready and proven. It has an auxiliary tank and a range of around 300 miles. It has taken me through Death Valley and up to Deadhorse via the Dalton Highway last summer with no problems. It is great for long highway miles and totally capable offroad. Its size and presence help with visibility when commuting in the city as well.
It has nearly $7000 in accessories but no frivolous farkles! Everything is there for a purpose and meant to strengthen its capabilities as an adventure bike. (with the exception of the short beak, y preference) For example: HyperPro Progressive fork and rear springs settle and improve the OEM set-up for both on road, inimizing front end diving under braking, nd off road performance.
Here's the list of add-ons with original cost of items - THESE ARE ALL INCLUDED in the 10,900 selling price.

Known issues:Side stand switch disabled - gear indicator sometimes displays wrong gear which can trick the bike into killing the ignition when the side stand is down. I disabled the switch (which is often disabled anyway as it is a failure point which can cause trouble on when on a trip). Remember to raise the sidestand before departing.Rims scratched from tire changes - merely aestheticScuffed plastics and engine guards - normal usage
This is a great bike with an adventure pedigree. Still some Dalton Highway dust on it somewhere I'm sure. I trust it with my life.
In the interest of full disclosure, here was an incident in March 2014 - an RX7 (fully at fault) turned left without yielding and damaged the front end. To be comprehensive, he entire front end was completely replaced with brand new OEM parts, overed by insurance (no penny pinching), nd installed and certified by trusted SF BMW Motorrad technicians. This was well before I undertook the 12,235 mile round trip to Alaska last summer. There are ZERO after effects from the incident. No frame deflection. No issues whatsoever. Like I said, trust this bike with my life, nd you can too.
