Okay F800 owners, if the gas tank is under the seat, what is going on in the "tank" area? Is that all airbox or is there some storage? As much as I love my K75s (the grandfather of the F800s I think) I'm trying to find reasons that I should also have an F800GS (F800ST?) The one with the hard cases.
This is strictly an airbox, with a battery sitting in front of it. Absolutely no storage area. However, if you remove the screws for the middle false tank cover, there is a little bit of room to add relays, fuse panels and other items.Originally Posted by 87m6chris
The GS and ST both have a "hard" case option that look different on each series. The GS is the off road variant of the series, and the ST is the Sport Touring version.

Thanks MotoStark, F800ST is what I'm lusting after. I have seen the punishment that Teach gives these bikes and they come up smiling.
Wolf BMW has an 07 800S for sale if you don't mind lower bars. Nice options on it too.
Can't we settle this over a pint?
I think ENDRAS also has one (ST)... Andrew there also knows his customers pretty well and was able to come up with a few options from other BMW customers that were looking to trade their equipment in...
Guys, Other than *this* thread, is there a GTA BMW forum that's not model specific ?
You wont find a large specific BMW motorcycle forum for just BMW's. If you want other places to get info on BMW bikes, try www.sport-touring.net (has a specific BMW forum, and a specific Canadian forum) or www.advrider.com
try www.bmwlt.com

I love my F800ST, just turning 10K and have had no problems. Great all around bike...although I do like the lower bars on the S model
changing things up, here is some pictures of my bike,

Test rode one of those at Mosport this summer.
It's one heck of a nice looking bike. Bling factor is high.

My 07 1200RT likes the back roads and the track. It not the best at either (or me) but its fun. I'm looking forward to see the release of the new inline 6 cyl.
Bad Example
Surely you must have raised some eyebrows when you brought that behemoth to the track? Kudo's to you.

Yikes, maybe I need to stop dirt riding and go tarmac only.

Thats definitely one gorgeous machine. If I was going to go the sport touring route, that would be top pick for me. I like the size and styling of that bike a lot.
