So I've had an interest, for some time, in the BMW F800GT, which first appeared in 2013. It gets good reviews as a midsized tour bike, and is described as having a more upright, tour friendly seating position than its predecessor, the F800ST. Also seems to be known for good gas mileage and reliability, though a few people complain it puts out too much heat.
So I'm soliciting opinions from those who have owned, or at least ridden, one. Is it in fact comfortable to ride long distance? How's maintenance - hard? Easy? What did you like or not like about it? Does the stock windscreen get the wind up out of your face?
If you have NOT ridden one: no offense, but I really am not soliciting guesses, or general pro-or-con prejudices about BMWs. Thanks.
