I have ridden my F800GSpot with my wife and a truckload of luggage through ~ 3000km of alpin roads and some roads get to the med and through Eastern Europe back to Scandinavia.
All in all ~ 6000 km this summer.
Any time we got a chance we left the tarmac.
We calculated the bike to carry me at 115kg, my wife at 75 kg, bike at 207 full tanked and ready and, hold your breath now, 90 kg of luggage.

Muddy roads, gravel, German Autobahn, Eastern European mismaintained asphalt, a lot of Alpin serpentine roads.
No problems whatsoever except one mirror shaking loose.

Seat and screen is so bad standard.
Change them.

We fitted the bike with all the hard part protections from TT and Wunderlich. We carry Zega panniers and a tankbag with tank panniers.

When this bike can start up on a gravel goat path in the alps with a 30-35% rise and all that weight, I see no torque issues at all.

I have been used to, through +30 years riding a lot of mainly Italian bikes like Ducati 900SS, Moto Guzzi 620ccm TS Singles with 28-32kg flywheel (the bacon slicer), the latter being able to tow a VW Transporter up from the ditch.

All constructions have their way of compromising.

Should I mention a few cons, except the windscreen and seat issues, it would be lack of adjustment of the front suspension, the restrickted fuel capacity, price (which adds up 180% of tax in my country), small footpegs, heavy standard exhaust (changed to something lighter, better sounding and slightly more powerful on mine), the horn that sounds like a 20mph moped comming by.

I have had no technical issues at all at 10.000km.

I would suggest the F800GSpot to be one of the most versatile traveling bikes presently.

This is not to discard any other bikes at all.
I would love to have 10, 20 or even 30 bikes to choose from as they each have their character and qualities.

In my dreams........... Untill the lottery comes out in my favour.
