    Visual differences between F800GS vs XC 800

    Hi! In another post I put a picture like this, but I think it was confusing and I have done this other assembly, where the black dashed line is the XC800 and the red dashed line is the F800GS...

    On the computer I was unable to attach the rear wheel of the GS XC is why I think really the XC wheel has 18 "rear and 17" GS

    You can also see that the XC is a little lower than the GS, the distance from floor to carter,... :164: and the XC is a little more bike than the GS :007:

    (sorry for my english  :034:)

    In the MCN report, triumph started design of the 800 in 2007 before the GS was announced,
    apparently they knew "of" the GS but did not know what it looked like,
    Also the reason for 95HP is new euro laws being proposed for 2013 restricting new riders to this,
    the frame is a design 'statement' with a lack of rear bodywork to give the bike a rugged look and prevent bodywork damage when loading up, (cos there ain't any)

    I wonder, how many new all round bikes will we see released in 2011 besides the Tiger 800?  Might be any easy field to be the best of  ....

    Well, we know Honda are unveiling their new middleweight all rounder at the Milan show, so there will be at least 2, and one of them from the world's biggest bike manufacturer...

    So where do we think this has been restricted, wounder what Street Cams or even Daytone cams would give  :007:

    Exhaust.

    Wonder if TuneECU will work on the 800?

    The specs on the new BMW 800 triple are the same, and likely limited by the euro restrictions as well. Buy power commander stock now, we haven't seen the end of it.
