BMW'S F800GS has gained Adventure status.
Following on from the 1150GS Adventure and 1200GS Adventure, BMW's successful mid-capacity F800GS gets the Adventure treatment, with a larger 24-litre tank (8-litres more than the F800GS), revised bodywork, a larger screen, 10mm taller seat (890mm), hand guards, wide enduro footpegs an engine protection bar and a pannier rack.
