BMW F800 GS ADV

The BMW F800 GS Adventure is the agile member of the GS family: noticeably lighter than the R1250 yet with genuine off-road geometry and touring equipment. A full A licence is required; its stand-up-friendly ergonomics make it a master of mixed-surface routes.

The 21-inch front wheel inspires confidence on gravel; the Kilyos dunes area, the Karaburun coast and the Çilingoz nature park route are a special kind of fun on the F800 GS. In town, the tall seating lets you read traffic from above.

Third-party insurance and a helmet are included; the deposit is €500. It's the pick for riders wanting a true GS experience that's lighter and more economical than the R1250.
