The F800GS is quite expensive in the US, probably cheaper or the same as in the UK. See my above post where I mention this. BMW are cheaper in UK new than US.
However, you can find lots of used 1100GS and 1150GS here. They are now quite cheap in the USA. The R1200GS's are still quite expensive.
Check Craig's list to verify this, or ADV rider Flea Market or BMW forums. Craig's list is best or Auto Trader to find dealer ads.
I would also look for the F650GS (800cc twin). It's $3000 cheaper (new) than the F800GS. If you could find a used one, (not easy) that could be a deal. BMW dealers are probably your best bet for BMW's or Auto Trader where all dealers advertise.
But many Japanese 650 class dual sport bikes can be had, near new, in the USA for $3500, more or less. This includes: Suzuki DR650, Kawi KLR650, Honda XR650L. (Yam 600's not imported to USA since 1990)
A good 1100GS or 1150GS will go for around $5000 to $8000 depending on year, miles, condition, and extras.
