There doesn't seem to be a section for the F800R/F800S/F800GT etc so I hope this is OK in here.
I'm considering a 2018 F800R and a 2017 Tracer 700 and it's finely balanced. Similar mileage (below 8k), similar price (both private sale). The BM is pretty bog standard, heated ggrips and luggage rack and that's about it. It's a crappy advert so not even sure if it has ESA and TC yet. I'd rather do without ESA (less to go wrong) but could live with it.
Yam has a host of extras (Hagon shock, upgraded fork springs, belly pan, touring screen, Akrapovic full system, crash bars, spotlights, all original kit too, some other stuff).
BM slightly quicker (?), decent handling out of the box without needing tweaked, Yam has all the bits I would be likely to ever need. I like the looks of both.
Just wondered what the collective might think, if anything, ideally from those who have owned one (or ideally both).
