But you said a full report .Picture (circled) speaks a thousand words my friend.
Simply stating you’ve done a few miles says fuck all about how you are getting on with the bike or if it has any niggles etc .
30 page report
It's been so lovely
BMW should use that . Brilliant!
Brevity is always appreciated.......but that's taking the piss
He really must hate the bike as he’s forced himself to ride it 21,775 miles in a year FFS .
Jeez guys get a grip FFS

I find that new owners are often not the best source of critical info on the machine they just spent 20K+pounds on. They do tend to defend the bike. I catch myself doing it with mine ..... But not always, sometimes they can be totally the other way around and upset with the bike, derating it it ..... It is hard to find valid input sometimes, of course valid being valid from your own perspective .....
I do tend to rely on some of the tube channels for some info. There can be issues here to. Big Rock Moto and Nothing to Prove both had 1300s on some levels that they bought and then later sold. BRM even went back to a 1250 for a short time and then sold that and bought a 1300 GS, after having and testing the 1300 GSA, and being a long time owner of GSAs. NTP had a 1300 GSA on loan, or bought, for a short bit, then a RT 1300 which he indicated that he could replace his 1250 RT but decided to send the 1300 back. He did hint at the fact that the 1300 is down slightly in torque on the very low end of the powerband, which seems to show up in low speed roll on's .....
And then there are the tests done by Bennetts Bike Social, one of my favorites, in a comparison between a 719 23 GS and a green 24 1300 GS with 719 parts. It was mostly predictable but had some rather big surprises in it ... imo.

In oneI wouldn’t ride a bike 21.7k miles in 12 months unless I had total faith in it and enjoyed riding it
Probably fair to say the OP rates it
Now this a report. Lacks diagrams, pictures and links. So only 7 points. Try harder.
Someone on FB did a something similar as the OP. Infuriated
Impressed though.Attachments
