I get the impression that reducing weight is not high on BMW's priorities right now. I recently read that the new pressed-steel frame of the F750/850-series is 26 pounds heavier than the tube frame of the previous F700/800 models. The wet weight listed for the F800GS is only slightly less than the wet weight listed for the RS and is just about the same as that of the R1200R. Give me a break - please!

I see your point. That particular model is known for its poor paint. It tends to rub off or dissolve completely in warm soapy water. |
