MCN Roadtest: AC Schnitzer F800 GS

[pkowalke55]

I live in Aachen

[bloodySunday77]

Beautiful... never expected to see that on a F800GS. But it probably costs as much as a 1200GS... and in that price range there are other muscle supermotards... but I would definitely want to ride something as unique and beautiful as this.

[idiotzrule]

wtfing hell was the point of that?!

[freshjive855]

WTF, that was NOT a road test.

[truebluepat]

This is what motorcycle is all about, testing a enduro style bike in the wet cold road.

[MrGeorgeBazza]

hope they didn't just go to germany just to make this video.

[martinfretwell]

boring tec geeks motorcycle news crap

[danijeeves]

[bandguy360]

[B13souza]

PAIA !!! :(

[w3media]

So what you're essentially saying is that they take a true dual purpose bike and turn it into more of a road bike... all for more money than an 1100 Ducati hypermotard... yeah?

[turbo311]

Sick! I want one. How much?

[AlucardNosferatu666]

@turbo311 10.190€ without any options/accessoires

[turbo311]

@AlucardNosferatu666 Is that the AC model or the base regular model price? That seems more like the base regular model price. It's $11,395 base price here for the regular version.

[DCDave100]

Im from Bavaria/Munich and we have the best Motorbikes yeah :) BMW

[505197]

When did they start calling every standard bike super-moto? As far as I'm concerned sittin up is the only way to ride, I like that little baby but of course I would . My R/100/GS has 95 thousand miles on it now and I still love it. I'd like to try one of the 800s, kind of a shame it isn't a shaft though, I sure like them better then chains. The narrow twin appeals to me, the air head kinda messes with foot placement. I'd like to see the cylinders laid flat and straight ahead for lower CG

[BrakeHorsePower92]

@505197 Basically a Supermoto can be called an Enduro with street tyres, smaller wheels and a stronger brake system. So technically it is a Supermoto. But a REAL SuMo only has one cylinder...at least thats my "Real-Supermoto" criteria.

[arktikgraywolf]

is R 1200 better for intermediate rider ?

[euheide]

Better? No, because it's heavy. But if your careful, it's perfectly safe ;)

[tvaranda1]

Great! They just fckd the bike! And it was a great bike!

[MARIOBLAHA]

dyt jim tam furt chčije :-)))

[powersliding]

chain looks much better than the belt. is there a kit to convert?

[skitspuce]

F800GS has a chain - F800S and -ST have the belt.

[Fugazy87]

bad weather bike gets dirty, i dont like that

[deliui]

haha!

better keep clean in the garage ;)

[hoxall]

which helmet is that? i really like it

[juanmacnuel]

mia

[inagod]

you grow to like the looks of it,once your out in the outback and the next gas station is 200 miles and there is no real roadto ride on.

[alienmode]

did that happen to you?

[FishBoneSkeleton]

that color looks badass. the yellow one is  ugly

[resomer]

yeah thats my hometown :)

i always hated those kind of bikes because they look so stupid. but today i made a testride with this f 800 gs and iam so incredibly convinced. it's so damn cool and fun to ride those things. the high seat reminds me of horseriding although i never rode on a horse ^^

whatever.. i even start to like the design of this bike i always hated so much.. crazy things happen sometimes :D

[UnSaintLike]

Yes there is this love/hate thing with BMW bikes. They may look ugly at first but they tend to look beautiful after looking at them.

[sgtpepper1138]

@resomer I think the BMW look great, what I don't want is an enduro type bike. Something that looks like a dirtbike with a headlight and signals strapped to it.

[cra83]

wow, i thought it couldn't get any better after the standard black/yellow scheme!

[harborpub]

That white looks great!

[massta72]

you cannot test a wouldbe fun bike on such a wet and supposedly slippery road surface... sure it is a meaningless experience

you can ride faster also under such conditions, of course, but is the danger worth enough? i don't think so.

u know, anyone is a world superbike champion while keyboarding some bullshit behind a screen.

[remotesunset]

@massta72

i drive my bike all year round and i don't get you're point?

[truebluepat]

@remotesunset Yeah these bikes are amazing. I rode a 650gs it was so damn fun. it will be my Christmas present to myself. Enjoy yours.

[guiporal]

I`ll stay with ktm

[mike1the1great]

i'm buying ktm 125 Exc great bike , Bmw best cars in the world and bikes too but they aint for me , only 16 years old so maybe older people like them more :) ktm for bikes and bmw for cars :)

[guiporal]

WISE WORDS

[edgards]

Short video uuuuhmmmmmm

[Riddenallofdem]

But then it was wet on the road, greasy as buggery with patches of ice. I know this. As for the shock, yeah, it adjusts eye-to-eye via threaded adjuster.

[Lukey3234]

hggfdg

[mattblack77nz]

Mirror extensions! Woof, woof!

[toilit]

Sounds nice! looks good!

[alexskylarking]

If he goes any slower he will be pushing it!

[jamiebridges123]

Very wet and slippy conditions, if you did but notice.

[alexskylarking]

no shit! wow I must have been watching the wall or something whilst the movie was playing!!!

[jamiebridges123]

Maybe you were, or you wouldn't have made such a blindly ignorant comment :/

[alexskylarking]

for your information, it was not raining and the ground had only surface water will no water running of the road. Granted there was snow on the side of the road but none on the road. I resent the fact that you call me ignorant from somebody as arrogant as you.

This is a supermoto style bike and therefore suited to 'road' conditions. Don't think just because we are on the internet yo can be an idiot like other people on youtube.

[jamiebridges123]

Uhm... yeah. I'm guessing you haven't ridden a motorcycle in very damp conditions. You have no idea of the surface, some roads are fine in the wet, others are like ice.

A quick google revealed the tyres on this bike to be Conti Race Attacks. These have a nude shoulder and getting onto them in weather like this would be moronic. Sorry that this is all so 'idiotic' to you.

[alexskylarking]

You don't know me or my riding experience. Your comments are just unfounded. I have ridden and raced at Donni, brands in the wet so why don''t you just drop the pointless comments. GO and join your BMW appreciation gang and leave us real bikers to enjoy the winter conditions.

[confusedsay]

The dude is probably being careful because it wasn't his bike. I don't know if I could ride in the Winter/wet conditions like you guys. Seems like everytime I try I get off or just about do. I can't find anymore plastic for my Elefant 900ES.

[jamiebridges123]

Yeah... I've covered close to 3000 road miles in the last 3 months. I'd call that enjoying the winter conditins. (Not enjoying the wash I have to give my bike every time I get home, gone through about £40 of bike cleaner o.o)

Btw BMW's are not in my good books - nice bikes, but I wouldn't buy one. If you have had experience in the wet, so then you should understand why he may not be riding this as aggressively as you might see fit!

[alexskylarking]

Ok great can we be friends now then as I was only making a jokiee remark about this video... ;-p

[jamiebridges123]

yes please

a/s/l LOL

[mattblack77nz]

You kids are gonna a *keeeyute* couple!

[riverguy9]

WP rear shock: "fully adjustable in every plane." -?? Adjustable eye to eye length? That'd be great.

[mahamza86]

Great Sound, Great Bike and Great Review.

[streetracerm5]

AC Schnitzer? Bike? Cooooooool!

[ClymerManuals]

Great looking motorcycle.

[Ubergood]

haha you must be joking right? BMW bikes are the worst looking bikes ever.

[hoyaxc]

Well, SOME are the worst looking bikes ever. The f800gs isn't too bad and I like the HP2S myself.

[dicared]

hmm..and what about Buells?
