I had awfully bad luck buying a first-year run of the BMW F800ST. Lots of major bugs and minor annoyances....I'm not sure I'd ever do it again!
No, it's a [url=http://www.webbikeworld.com/BMW-motorcycles/2016-bmw-g-310-r/preview.htm]brand-new design. I am pretty stoked about this thing, it's a twin-cam, four-valve with a lot of tech drawn from the S1000RR, the intake is on the front side of the cylinder and the exhaust exits the rear, for a very interesting "twist" on design features.

I am super-happy with my 2013 F800GS, it needed a couple of gas tanks and three water pumps (all under warranty) but now it's fine. The power, ride, and handling are just superb.

I'm willing to take a chance on a smaller bike like this. Wouldn't use it for long rides anyway.
