Absolutely !
I think the 800GSA will become a bit of a classic.
The 850GSA is utterly hideous .

Having owned one I agree. Moving the tank above the engine has just ruined the look - it used to be quite slim but now it looks like a 1200GSA. Just as well as it almost costs as much as one!
has anybody actually bought one ???
260 kgs wet, that’s ridiculous, and KTM does the same spec for around 220?

Didn’t look like they were praising it much! 260Kg for an 850cc parallel twin is a joke. Contrast with a much more powerful 1050cc/125bhp KTM1090 - same tank size but 30-35Kg lighter and a far better bike that was £3K cheaper when it was full price and the last few can be had for £9K. Or a regular AT. I owned and liked the F800GSA but now I’ve seen it in the flesh and seen some reviews, that’s quickly become zero interest.
But the 850 adventure really took me visually
I owned a 800 gsa and completely loved it. Went to r1200, loved it, but went to the 800. Then.... I saw the 850 adventure and honestly loved the look of it. I stress the adventure, not the standard, which I wouldn't have given up the 800 for. But the 850 adventure really took me visually, then i rode it and ... the rest is history. Love this bike, despite the slightly larger weight...
Whatever you're smoking, put me down for a baggie next time.
