Reality VS Retail

So, I saw this bike a couple weeks ago.



The bike was a BMW F800S, piloted by Christian Pfeiffer in Las Vegas. He display on the bike showing it and his capabilities got me a little excited about the bike, so I thought I would go try it out.

Today I stopped by Victory BMW my local BMW dealer to give the little sucker a spin.

Well......the bike we get to ride and Christian's bike are a little different I think. The F800S is an awesome bike, well mannered, has good throttle response and is very flickable, but not the hooligan bike that I was hoping for. Oh well, we can always dream, right?

By the way, the BMW F800S is quite possibly the perfect commuter bike. It is agile, responsive and sized in a manner perfect for getting around town and through traffic.

Outside in the Gold Lot BMW set up a killer mini motosports pitlane
park.

I got to see the tech that goes into F1 cars and a killer stunt
display by factory rider Chris Pfeiffer on the BMW F800. .

I dunno, after that I just might have to look at that bike again.
