I was blown away by how many F800s and similar class bikes, older 750s that were there. I mean, you know, just in terms of BMW bikes that were there, there were quite a few. It was a pretty high percentage. And that chassis is incredible because it's nimble, it's lightweight, but it's got a lot of power to weight ratio and easy to outfit for a long distance or you can strip it down and take it on single track. That is such a fantastic bike. I ride the R1250GS adventure. And of course, quite a bit heavier, a bit bigger. But boy, I took the hard bags off of it, ran down to about half a tank of gas. And with that, I went up on all those fire roads, mount roads, two track, rough terrain, loose rock, sand, whatever I threw at it, it had no problem with. And what's interesting is that for a heavier bike, once I was above about 20 miles an hour, you could have sworn you were riding the R1250. You just don't recognize the weight anymore.
