The good guys at Schnitzer Germany have decided to give the F800S a bit of a tune with WP Suspension,Titanium or Race cans and as you can see full fairing,also adjust seat height to suit (one for the height impared)
Power figures are yet to come but should be an improvement....
Green looks Kawasaki...maybe a modern GPZ....

its probably super reliable. still ugly as hell though
i wonder why they would use green when people automatically associate that colour with Kawasaki.

i'd take the sprint star,
the twin star says its only an 800cc
and looking at forks and stuff, is not quite as sporrty as the twin.
those twins have got some grunt! not as much as the 1200 4 banger. but still...

no its not, its an 800 twin, NOT a boxer twin but a parallel (sp?) twin.
i havent ridden the 800 but i know someone that has and by all accounts it rocks, THAT version would be a laugh-a-minute

They are both twins,R1200S is a boxer twin and the F800S is a parallel twin built by Rotax,Two Wheels did a review on the F800S a couple of issues back (05/06)in South Africa and said it rocks!Torque band is great and will give sports bikes a go in the twisties...apparently it's a 360degree crank which gives it a sound like a boxer engine,and only $14500 + ORC
