Great coverage - especially covering the New Bikes.

Now I know how the Dodgers felt after losing to the Yankees and being told to

Wait until next year!

(no R or RT F-800)

But I bet people will have to wait in line for the F800-GS.

Hey Vince, Mandy, Scott

Can you web post a summary spec sheet on the GSs (800 and 650)

The fork travel, seat height, wet/dry weight, stuff from the press kit?

[vincewinkel]

[knary]

thanks, folks

more, as Vince said, coming soon.

[PAULBACH]

I'm especially interested in the electrical system. Hope it has enough reserve capacity to satisfy all the farkle opportunities.
