after reading all the threads about FD failure, HES wiring failure, general bits blowing up, snapping falling off etc, my '97 R1100RT with 64K managed to do a 1400 mile tour of Scotland over the weekend with out any problems! what the hell is wrong with it

fortunately all my Goretex gear failed to keep out the Biblical rain on Monday so balance is restored to the world

You can fix your reliable bike by getting a 12 and you can join the ranks of motorcyclests stranded at the side of the road doing valuable un payed research for BMW since they sacked their r and d dept. staff. JJH

Wait until you hit over 100k, then it's more of a when things wear out problem! Like for me the bushes in the gear lever failingandleaving me stranded in 3rd 80 miles from home!

I have 67000 miles on my 2007 RT12, still rides like a new one (although I did fit Wilbers at 32k)

Off to Black Forest & Switzerland in a couple of weeks on it, it'll be the 2nd time she's been there with me.
My 6 year old Rukka gear is still waterproof.
