Got my f800s in 2007 put on panniers, tall screen, topbox, tankbag, garmin 660 bike satnav and remus can for weight saving and turned it into a great tourer. The ST bars just don't sit right for my six foot tall frame the sports bars on the S are ok as they are not as low down as most sports bike so you don't suffer the same rist pain.
Completed a trip to Europe last year(the longest on my F800) of 2,500 miles in eight days from Belfast via dublin, through Wales, England, the Tunnel into France for the MOTO GP at LeMans. Then to the Ring in Germany and back via Belguim so lots of road types to chose from....
The seat was great no num bum even on the first day of 485miles from Belfast to Folkstone, one of the best seats i have had on a bike.
The engine run smooth no problems and cruised nicely at 70mph on the motorways and went like stink on the autobann at 134mph with full lugguge and a fat boy on board.
The fuel economy was the best at an average of 65mpg the whole trip, my friends came on there KTM990 & yamaha Fazer 600 so a good mix but there trip fuel wise was a bit more costly.
All in all a good all round bike sporty, hard working, comfortible, cheap to run compered to most tours and BMW's and i would not swap it for the world....
