Cycle World Official Announcement - BMW F 800 GS is "Best Dual-Sport Bike"

Cycle World magazine has selected the BMW F 800 GS as the Best Dual-Sport Bike in 2009.

"With ten classes and 547 motorcycles to choose from it is no easy task to narrow them down," says Cycle World. For the 2009 model year "the F800GS combines dirt and street capability and best embodies a do-anything, go-anywhere riding ethic. While the Best Dual-Sport Bike category is traditionally reserved for simple, single-cylinder machines, there is also room for large-displacement adventure-tourers, as long as the riding fun continues when the pavement ends."
