It is with great sadness that I have to hand back my F800GS. The recession has bitten me hard and I can’t afford the bike anymore.
I could only afford such an expensive bike on finance and I can be glad I had two great years on it seeing places and meeting people others only dream of. For that I am grateful and privileged but 6 months out of work has meant that the time has come to part company with my bike.
BMW could not help despite the promotional work I have done for them and so I now have no options left.
The timing could have been better. Handing a bike back as you enter winter time would be easier to swallow but handing it back as we approach summer is particularly hard.
With luck and a fair wind I will emerge on the other side, stronger, happier and with a new bike.
It may not be a BMW but it will hopefully inspire the same spirit of adventure.
As the tag-line says on the website. The adventure begins in your head.

that’s very bad. But you can pick up a Xmoto for really cheap. Good luck.
