First R1200GS-LC

[avenbugt]

Does anyone know when the first R1200GS LC model was available for sale (or when the first were delivered)?

I believe launched in the summer of 2013 and was available from autumn of same year.

In fact a quick Autotrader search does reveal, that the first GS bikes were registered on 13 plate. So clearly available from spring onwards.

According to the realoem site, production started in October 2011. When customer deliveries were made is a different matter.

I bought mine second hand in 2014 with less than 1500 kms.
Production date was 27 february 2013 and first registered (in Belgium) on 27 march 2013.

Mine was registered (in the UK) on 28 Jun 2013. Brilliant bike, which I had for a decade before I replaced it with a 1250.
