Last week saw the launch of not one but two all-new BMW GS models, the F800GS and the F650GS, in South Africa.

MCN Road Test Editor Phil West went to see if the new F800GS was a baby R1200GS or in fact a landmark bike in its own right.

Watch the video below to get a detailed look at the bike and see how it copes as Phil takes it for a ride
