G650 XCountry or F800GS?
Hello folks,
here my issue: G650 XCountry or F800GS?
Purpose:
-Two-up travelling (our weight: 53kg and 70 kg)
-with full camping equipment
-2-6 weeks trips
-mainly roads, but also a few dirt roads
Do you guys think the smaller and cheaper (new China motor makes it a lot cheaper) G650 XCountry can handle this job? I like the design of this bike a lot.
My concerns about this bike are weight capacity (175kg max. load carrying) , no windshield and vibrations due to the 650 single. Also the small fuel tank is an issue.
Or do you think I should go for the F800GS? I don't know whether it is too high spec for the job with its twin, offroad-capabilities ...
I would really like to hear some opinions on this.
Does anyone have experience how the G650 XCountry performs with a pillion and on highways?
That would be a great help. Thanks,
Dom
