Patience is a virtue for American F800GS wanabees
 

I'm presuming the press release is referring to the new F650GS twin

Woodcliff Lake, NJ - January 24, 2008... Motorcycle enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the arrival of BMW's new F 800 GS will need to be a bit more patient, as production of the middleweight dual-purpose enduro will be delayed due to worldwide demand for the popular F 650 GS. The F 800 GS is expected to be available at US BMW Motorrad retailers in Fall 2008, making it a 2009 model

F800 GS available in Canada?
 

Looks like the de-tuned F650GS twin (some are calling it the F658??) will be available in March, but we will have to wait until October or November for the F800GS. I'm still curious why the sudden change in availability.
