Ideal Beater Bike

The early (2006-2008) F800S and F800ST models had a high incidence of stator failures due to overheating, but this was remedied beginning with the 2009 model year. The F800GT, which wasn't introduced until 2013, doesn't seem to have the issue. I follow this closely on F800riders.org.

I owned two 2007 F800ST's before buying my 2013 F800GT and had no issues, but neither have I experienced any driveshaft failures on my other BMW's, so who knows.
