I hope the tank is an easy swap to the '10 :)

Not me but this is how I feel about that machine.

This weekends class we had a 1200 GSA with the traction control, new off road rider, sand pit, bad throttle control, great wipeout 8)  All I want is more range so I can stay in the woods longer and I'm not getting the Touratech tank, five more gallons mounted up high??  $2000?  And after BDFs great fuel adventure I think I will skip the frugal plug and play method ;)

The ESA is intriguing, but I am getting that sorted out next week with a full on front suspension upgrade from Konflict Motorsports.

Nice!

I have an Alaska trip with the Connie or I'd have probably already picked an 800 or 1200 up!

Nice Cycle World write up on this bike:

http://www.cycleworld.com/2013/05/04/2014-bmw-f800gs-adventure-first-look-review-photos-video/?cmpid=enews050913&spPodID=020&spMailingID=5464905&spUserID=MzMwOTEzNzY4NzAS1&spJobID=319054521&spReportId=MzE5MDU0NTIxS0
If they would fix the soft front suspension and put an 18" rear tire they would have a bike superior to the KTM ADV machine, vastly superior.  I just want the tank as I am almost done sorting my F8GS out ;D
