........and maybe better sealing air boxes, non buffeting screens, a bit less heat from the engine, and a range indicator that really reads in miles and not in KM's

Go and have a look on the ADVRider forum then. You know, the place where they do some serious mileages.
I've said before, if I had all the issues mentioned on here, do you SERIOUSLY think I'd keep buying more BMW's? Of course I bloody wouldn't.
You keep falling into the trap of thinking that just because a few bikes have issues, the whole brand does.

I don't really care if you can only buy BMWs.I'll buy whatever takes my fancy.That's why I've owned most makes over the years,and finally bought my first Yamaha this year after 36 years of riding.
I've owned 8 different BMWs but cannot see myself buying a new one unless they build something that interests me and build it to last longer than the first year.The older BM bikes I owned were great but the ones built after 2005 all had problems,some of them major.
And some of us like KTMs because they have a certain something that people like you,Nutster just don't get.The only BMW I've ever owned that had such a feeling was my Boxercup Replika many years back.
But it's also the reason I've not bought a new KTM for 8 years !!!! OK,I did want a 1290 GT but my dealer failed to source one and believe me he tried.
Anyway,not debating anymore.Can we please keep this thread to what it was started for-to pass on any info about the new KTM range of big bikes.We know you and your boyfriend Engineer will never dare stray outside the BMW brand,so bit pointless continually hijacking a thread about a brand that you have zero interest in.Go get some more bits of your Partial Black painted properly.
Jolly good. You stick to your crap imitation of the best adventure bike on the market, and I'll stick to actually owning the best adventure bike on the market.
As you say, we'll keep this thread on track from now on. Well, I will.

So you've now jumped to talking about the Africa Twin,which has won all the awards this year,was the best selling bike of the year,full stop,of any bike,any cc until the earthquake stopped production and was voted Bike Mag Bike of the Year ? The same mag that didn't even include the latest GS in the Top 50 !!!
Sorry,but I won't stick to it as I like a bit of variety, unlike some.
And ,correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe you even own the bike you love so much,because you've had to sell the previous one before the warranty expires and buy the same bloody bike again because they've badly sprayed a few panels black and charged a premium to gullible muppets who fall for such a con....
Can we please get back to just discussing the new big KTMs,as was the intention of this thread.Ta

Oi, both of you, fuck off!
This has already been settled, I refer you to post No179

KTMs are great but they are becoming ever more ridiculous in terms of power and weight in trying to grab a larger share of BMWs market.

The future is Tomos my hippy friend ( until you buy that new husky)
( until you buy that new husky) 
Thought they'd done that by dropping the 1190? .....
I thought you wanted to keep the thread on track?
And why are you bringing the Africa Twin into the conversation?
If you need a rag like Bike mag for verification that your bike is any good, that speaks volumes. I'm glad the GS wasn't in there top 50. It's still the number 1 adventure bike worldwide.
Anyway, I'm sure you'll be back shortly to keep this thread off topic.
Ok then, I don't think they are that great but they are far superior to Africa Twins

If the 1290R is indeed as ugly as the pics in MCN then I will be cancelling my order !
That'll please Paul S

....and you still take that magazine seriously?
....next you'll be quoting the bike of the year opinions of Auto-trader!
It might be ugly but it will be a hoot
Hardly !
I don't take any mag seriously though Bike makes a tad more sense than MCN and the like .
That's why I've bought a few bikes lately before the mags got their hands on them to test them..
