  • I've wanted an F800gs since they first came out. Finally picked up a 2009 last year and shes won me over. Selling my Funduro F650 was a hard thing but shes gone to a worthy owner who loves her as I did. This video is me talking about the two bikes and is a small tribute.`

    Rode an F800GS on a tour in Slovenia and Croatia last summer. Same color, too. 😊 Very capable bike. 👍🏍 although a lot to be said about the simplicity of the Funduro. Even the chickens aren’t startled by the exhaust. That’s some epic traveling you’ve done on it. 🏁

    The funduro can take a beating and keep on going plus if drop it won't hurt that much I have its Italian cousin. This rotax motors have history in reliability. I must also say the 800 is a nice looking motorcycle,

    Ah the Funduro... have to say I took a little offence at your trashed its looks. I find it a unique and pretty bike in its own way. My first real motorcycle was the Funduro. Had a 3 year and 30,000km love affair. Lol. Too bad that station wagon took it out. Anyways; thought I would try faster and sportier with a Triumph Sprint ST tourer heavy on the sport. Nope. Even with Helibars, I couldn’t live with it. Legs way too cramped.
    That Funduro would go bombing down ATV trails or carve Vancouver Island’s sweet roads during torrential rain while scraping the pegs.
    That is why now I am restoring an identical one.
    The red Funduro affair will continue soon. ;)
    The bike is a durable and fun tool that can really do it all as much an a bike can. A race tech front fork setup and an aftermarket overly expensive shock; and it’s a sportier and classier KLR.

    Just got a F650, cleaned carbs and new spark plugs.
    Got it to fire up then it died and never wanted to start.. cleaned carbs again.. got it to fire up and idle with the choke on.. no choke it dies... Now it won't start at all... I think it needs a new starter pr starter solenoid...

      I had the same problem... Switch the metal sparkplug caps out for NGK plastic ones and replace the ignition cables from the coil to the caps. Fixed everything for me.

      I love the way they look, but ultimately I was disappointed with the low-end power of the engine. It lacked torque. Ended up getting an Africa twin and I love it so much more than the BMW
