    Hi guys, Back again and seeking some general advice now I've had a week with the bike. Firstly, the dealer only put a measly 6L in the tank on collection which was probably a lot less...I managed 26km before running out 200m from the gas station :rolleyes: However, no fuel light in all...

    Hi guys, Sorry if this is TL;DR Whilst I love my F800GS for the adventure riding of dirt roads around Malaysia, I feel there is a hole in my garage that the R3 might fill. Truth be told, a while back I hired a HD Road King for a couple of weeks and enjoyed the big cruiser experience...but...
