After a 5 month wait I finally took delivery of my new 1200GS at the beginning of September. Spent the last 3 weeks touring France. Excellent bike. My previous BMws were 1150GS and Adventure. Personally I loved the 1150GS (I have owned 2) and considered it better than the Adventure that I 'upgraded' to. However in the 3000 miles that I have covered so far I think this is the best of a great bunch.
The two issues I have are the self cancelling indicators, I think they are a needless and dangerous accessory. My dealer says that the cancelling thingy cannot be deactivated, is this true? Also I have a squeaky front break which doesn's seem to be getting any better as the miles increase. Anyone out there got the same problem?
Last thing I am using givvi panniers instead of the BMW ones. More space no gimmics and cheaper. They do increase the width a lot more than the BMWs but it isn't a real problem. I have a remus carbon fibre exhaust and have had no radiated heat problems from it with the panniers fitted.
That's all
