Hi everyone 
warranty is up on my gsa LC, been pretty amazing to ride but, reliability has been a bit of a pain on it, got a decent figure for trading back in and clearing the finance,
Would leave me about 5k back in the pot if I went that way
not sure if I'm going to extend the warranty and keep it as I do love riding it blows me away ever time I do. But the spare parts price is a bit scary do about 25k a year millage wise across a couple of bikes so after one I can do big millage on, done 16k on the gsa LC
costs I was looking at on the LC are 3 services say at 350 quid a pop + 450 for the warranty thats about £1500 in servicing and warranty a year
Or service it myself but if the gearbox went or something like that bit screwed
apparently a water pump is £1500 and the shocks being none rebuildable was looking at touratech for £2,500 all starts to mount up a bit
so been thinking of a bit of old school tech that I can fix ok myself.
Other one I was thinking was a super ten but do love the boxers
One things for sure love the Big beemers,
Just wondering has anyone ever gone from a wet head to the 1150 gsa or gone the opposite way, know they are all different
anything you missed from either,
few questions if thats ok
What does everyone think
Massive thanks in advance,
Tom

few questions if thats ok
- what are parts prices like compared to the LC GSA
- what are the most expensive reliability issues
- self servicing compared to the LC? any better or worse
