I have looked at them from time to time but I have a 2001 KLR650 so there isn't much difference except in price. I'm sure the BMW has it all over the KLR but I paid 4K for mine brand new.
I just traded in my 2009 Kaw Concours for a 2015 BMW F800GS. I definitely wanted at least 2 cylinders. Singles are good for the dirt but on the street it a bunch of vibration. I still have the KLR which is basically the "dooms day" machine. But if you want something good for the street with just a smidgen of off road go with at least a 2 cylinder machine.....
The 800 is a blast to ride, very nimble and pretty good power. Smooth too.
