After 18 months and 18000 miles I decided to sell the Tmax. Took a sensible offer for it and now have one of these. Miss the auto trans and underseat storage of the Tmax already! But i'm enjoying the new one for now.
I had a test ride of a brand new zero mile F800ST model, lovely bike with power and great mpg, unfortunatly I did not like or could not get used to the indicator cancel switch being seperatly on the throttle switch cluster. When accelerating after your turn, trying to get your right thumb exactly on the cancel switch was difficult for me. I had to throttle off, find and press the switch then accelerate again. It did however have a self cancelling action after 30 seconds. I will not say never return to 'bikes', but maxi-scooters are for me now. Enjoy.
Well, the F800s look great on paper and they are a bargain new, compared to new TMaxs / BMW scoots anyway...but somehow they look like an overgrown 125 to me.
