F800 review?

I second this! Inquiring minds want to know if the F800S or ST are all that.

I rode an S and liked it very much.

(9 word report. )

There a vicious little rumor going around that the F800 will have a new "R" sibling. Also, to fuel the flame, since Husky was bought by BMW the really cool Husky SM prototype that they showed late last year was originally designed with the F800 motor in mind. Could you imagine that bike going up against the Hypermotard?

Well at least we know...
