Down by £695 F800GS Trophy

Frugal-yet-punchy, looks-the-part frame, absorbent ride, adventure feel – we like the F800GS. The 2018 bike is very different and might alter the character, so go for this Trophy instead. Lots of extras (hot grips, computer, main stand, crash bars), list is £9895 but bowkermotorrad.com have a ’17-plate pre-reg for £9200.
