Video: BMW F800GT first ride

The new BMW F800GT aims to be a daily commuter, load-lugging tourer and weekend fun ride.

The GT replaces the F800ST, which has been a decent seller in the middleweight touring bracket since 2006.

The new bike has a new fairing, more power, changed riding position and updated parts to reposition it as a true touring machine rather than a faired version of a naked bike.

We put it through it’s paces to see how well it fairs.
