GSA: Just found I've gone over 10,000 miles

...and nothing has gone wrong, touch wood etc etc. Great bike. Solid.

didn't seem that big a deal really, but it appears it is in the Super Tenere world, so i thought i'd better mention it

My 2011 just done 15000 trouble free, should I be worried ?

I'm not sure which statement has the most ridiculous contradiction in it, a 1200 that's reliable or.......

A Sunbeam that goes racing.........



p.s. 5k and all's well, nothing to shout about

Jeez, are they still throwing that one out? They could do that with my GS at 88k no problem

My GSA has done 12,000 miles with no problems as well !

Be out of warranty next month though, so I suppose it's due to drop to bits then

Think I'll take out the BuMW extended warranty for at least the first year

Seeing as my 1200GS had gone through 2 gearboxes, a rear frame, fuel pump, 2 throttle cables, brake servo system and some other garbage by 10,000 miles you can see why I'm happy with the Yamaha. I wish you well on your BMW. I'll never have another.

Riding to work last month on the motorway, I looked at the mileometer and it read 12345! Freaky that I happened to look at it then.

Both our 09 1200s have a combined mileage of 50000. Better get em down to the dealers as must be due to turn to dust...

 

[luckylucian]

My 04 keeps plodding on but its an early one made before production was increased to meet demand and sod the quality. It owes me nothing now

 

[drinkingparrot]

Technically It gets worse in here

this thread was meant to be a tongue in cheek snipe at the tenere contingent
