The Moto

The Moto I will be taking is a 2009 BMW F800GS. It is an adventure style moto, which is a mix between dual sport and touring styles. It’s comfy enough for long days in the saddle on the highway, yet still retains the ability to handle the off-road thanks to its high ground clearance and 21″ front wheel.
