I have one - Alpine White.
Problems though - ASC wont shut off! ARGGG! In my opinion - DO NOT ORDER ASC. What a lousy system. Just try riding up an incline on a gravel road, through in a little washboard and traffic behind you will think you have never ridden before. the bikes jerks and pops and slows down so that you have to pull over. I think it should be default OFF.
Also, both rims on mine where out of round so the bikes shakes up and down so much the headlight bounces off road signs. Have had one rim replaced and still waiting for them to get it together for the other.
I got to tell you, as a new to BMW rider - I'm way short of impressed with the state my new 2013 F800GS was delivered to me in. Appalling really.
Sorry if this has rained on anyones dreams. just a reality check.

the ASC does shut off...you have to hold the button down with the ABS and wait for the light to stay on. Default is on but off road like the ABS it can be turned off. WE are now back to having 2 bikes after selling our 650's. For some reason I can never post pictures to this forum...does not like my smugmug urls or even when I try to upload from my mac. Oh well, we have the Kalamta and White 800 now. More when I have time to ride.

Hey Leslie,
Glad you finally picked up #2!! :clap:
I'm sure you're doing this but it did change a bit a while ago...use "from URL" then unclick "retrieve remote file..."
That's what I do (from Photobucket) but that being said sometimes it doesn't work...like now!
