And BMW don't charge a premium price for their premium products sorry mate wake up and smell the roses, you charge premium prices people have higher expectations, if you what evidence look at the official stats from the "Lemon Law" state side the highest number of returns across a range BMW.

Never had a major problem with any of my 4 1200GSs since 2005 and I put an average of about 10,000 miles a year on each one. All have had little niggles but always sorted out by my dealer with little fuss.

Some people spend more time worrying instead of riding, but I suspect those people would do the same in every aspect of their lives, it's just the way of the World

What issues?

just ride them. BMW has sold so many watercooled GS/GSAs

My 2012 Twin cam 1200 GS was the best overall BMW I have ever owned and more likely the best bike I've ever owned.

Sadly after taking it in for a service I was given a 2013 wc gs as a loner and foolishly swapped my TC for the WC.

Looking back,yes it was most probabley released 12mths to early,but most of the problems now appeared to be sorted.

I feel a little bitter toward BMW for being a BETA tester but at the end of the day it was my choice,but as a cash buyer I was not given the same amount of support as those that had purchased on finance or PCP.

I have just purchased a 2006 r1200st to run alongside my Stelvio, and to be honest it's a much nicer bike to ride than my WC was.

Some people prefer old technology, others new - the WC is nicer than my twin cam for a number of reasons and even though the twin cam was the best of the air/oil cooled GSes the WC is the better overall bike for me.
