My BMW F800GS

[gspod]

Thanks for that just the info I was looking for.

Test riding one in a couple of weeks with a mate.

Same HP as the 1150 - a lot less weight. He's got 1150 ADV I know he's gonna change

Maybe bump into you at the Stella (not literally!)

forgot to mention the seat height is much lower on the gs. you must try the yam if your less than 5 11. I could manage it on road but couldn't get my feet down off road.

If it helps, own a 660 myself but ride a lot with a lad on a gs. We've both tackled the same stuff on the same day and both are more than capable bikes.

In my view...

GS is better on the road
660 is a bit lighter and after a good day on trails you start to notice, also I found it has better ground clearance.
GS I'm not sold in the canbus stuff, bits can be pricy
660 is simpler and easier to work on... Daft things like taking a sparkplug out
GS I found a bit soft but guess you could dial that out
660 looks better... In my view:)

As mentioned... The 660 is very tall. Try before you buy. If you lower it, you'll dial out some of the off road benefit. If you ride more on the road I think the GS will be better. If you do want full dual sport it'll come down to personal preference.

Both great bikes though...

How comfortable (+ large) is the pillion seat. Can't say who I'm asking for!
