Big bugger so how so agile ?

I know the GSA have their issues, but could you see KTM changing a full engine and drive system because of corrosion, not a chance. They really don't give a shit when they've got your business.

Fortunately KTM use paint that sticks to the engine and so do not need to replace them

Enjoy the GSA - liked my last one but not as much as my 1190

No idea. I've not had any with mine.

 

[Reggie P]

Nor mine .
Not a single (reliability ) issue with any BMW Bike or car. I'm fussy too - but these things are bloody reliable !

 

[Phatcat]

I've had mine all day and it's been faultless. Don't know what all the fuss is about.

 

[jetjock]

Not at all. There are issues, .

I'm referring to the "issues" reported on this hallowed forum. Could all be fiction as far as I'm concerned, as I've had none of them on any of my bikes.

How many bikes in your grand total have you kept longer than the warranty ?
