Another F800GT. I've had it for two weeks and put a bit over 200 miles on it so far. I'm liking it more every time I take it out. Today was the first ride with the new V-stream "sport" windshield which is about the same size as the stocker but totally tinted. Also put a new air filter in it over the weekend.
This one is loaded with all the typical US-spec stuff (ESA, ASC, ABS, heated grips, trip computer) and it all still works perfectly. The only real issue I need to resolve is a melted instrument bezel/cover that resulted from the previous giant touring screen focusing the sun right on the clocks and frying them. Fortunately it didn't burn a hole through, but deformed the bezels. This new screen should prevent that....but a replacement bezel/cover is over $300 from BMW and there seem to be no aftermarket bezels except stick-on hoods that cover the damage and don't fix it.
I love the fact that it actually has a centerstand, comfy ergos, and the factory luggage is pretty good. I also LOVE the belt drive. More street bikes should have belt drives. The engine is not particularly interesting, but it performs well enough and these Rotax twins are known to pile on the miles without issue.
After over 6 years without a sport-touring ride, it's nice to be back in the fold. I had a VFR750 for nine years and it was a simply fantastic bike, but it was just, well, old. Carbs, no ABS, OEM parts supply was drying up. I still miss that engine though. This BMW doesn't have the bottom end that the Honda V4 did, but I think it has more real midrange.
