Official Video of the 2013 BMW F800GS


After taking my bike off road for really the first “technical” trail since I have owned it…I am happy to say this bike kicks ass….but…and there is always a but…when I get around to posting videos and picture of March 24th 2013 Dual Sport BC Spring Newbie ride…you will see I have one complaint about my awesome bike.  Have a watch of a professional video…Oh, to have a cinematographer in the family! Second video is me showing you the front end suspension of my bike.

’13 BMW F800GS – Wrong Turn In the Right Way


Went for a ride on March 8th and came across a new dirt road.  First time with the F800 off road and ran into a rough new forest road.  It was good for me to get back off the pavement but because I did not have water, tools and my SPOT, I turned around to be safe.  Will go back to explore soon though.  Watch in HD and full screen seems to work best! I edited this down a lot…

Space Needle Weekend


Feb 2-3 2013 (click on the pics and see the slide show)

Took a short 700 KM trip down to Seattle to ride up the Space Needle and spent the night in LaConner, Washington.  Left in FOG, had some sun, came back in the cold rain.  All in all great to get back on the bikes and just ride for fun!

Paul from Touratech thoughts on the New 2013 BMW F800GS


Thursday, 29 November 2012 12:46 Paul Guillien and Staff
I really like how Paul describes this bike of ours.  I agree with everything he says and although we have not taken this bike off road yet I know we agree with his assessment as well. When he states the bike has a lean look that is one thing we LOVE about the BMW.
I should and probably will review the BMW 650, Triumph Tiger 800XC and compare it to the new BMW F800.

Paul Guillien, Touratech-USA’s General Manager, shares his thoughts on BMW’s updated mid-weight adventure bike, the 2013 F800GS. Continue reading →
