Thanks for all the interesting perspectives and input. I had not thought about the F700GS to be honest. That gives me 3 more options than I had. I now count 4, F700GS, Versys, CFMoto, F800GS.

Just to add to my concerns/issues to fix on the F800GS, they are all coming into China with the low suspension. I know the importer and he can not even get normal suspension for himself.... That adds another RMB20K at least for me. There is nothing small about me. I need to ask if the F700 comes in standard seat height here in the land of logic free paradise known as China.
