Is this impolite?

[stick]

It is dealer specific. Unfortunately many are very arrogant like my local dealer. They are so bad that many travel overseas to get bikes serviced.

In view of the latest R1250 postings, it made me wonder, so I posted the following over at the KTM section.

Do you think this is impolite?

I've been following the responses in both the the WC section (here) and your identical post in the Orange section, it's been most entertaining

However, what has REALLY struck me is the differing responses in each section.

In the Orange section there has been nothing but good humour, light hearted comments and a general 'yeah, whatever' attitude. There has been absolutely none of the rude/brat/aggressive behaviour that the Orange riders in there are accused of

In here though, on an identical thread, we have old women moaning about shit, slagging off others choice of bike, being fairly aggressive and general knob waving about how they can get their pegs down and ride faster than any other bike.

Very interesting and, more importantly, very telling

One always tries to carry one’s nick with pride, not that I have a clue what you’re on about . Perhaps you should go do some revision before mummy calls you down for lunch ?

I don't think so. And why such a question? I'm Norwegian, perhaps you should brush up on your geography. The picture was taken about as far away from Santander as you can get in the western world.

I’m loving the 85 litre monstrous top box. Fits in perfectly with the image .

Ah, so you were then. Thought so

Just thought it may have been you on your holibobs

You should try venturing outside of Norway, I have it on good authority that travel broadens the mind

If he did he might find out that Santander is on the north coast of Spain so it is actually quite easy to get a great deal further away from Norway than he thinks ....

Jepp, comes highly recomended, you should give it a try, seems like it's in dire need.

GS and KTM riders just getting along

Won't catch on.

 

[Boxerlust]

Arsey there is a country South of the border called mexico that is free where you can go as fast as you want and pretty much do what your want without adult supervision
Last year my buddy on his new 1290 "Superadventurer" found out how fast 160 hp really were ? Governed to 125mph !
KTM does not trust their own ability to build a decent chassis that does not wobble with bags on.
Ready to Race...Even my GS with only 125hp was faster doing 135 smelling exhaust fumes of locals riding XR's probably doing 160...
And where is the design flaw of the R12GS that they withdrew it from the market ?
All I remember that they delayed the release of the G310 as now the F850 before they sell it to the public to get it right but those are not real BMW's in my opinion anyways made in india or engine made in china.
Same with Triumph's or Ducati's made in Thailand or would you buy a Chinese Rolex...
Same with KTM whose bikes up to 390cc are coming from india with welds that look like bird-shitt or the whole 790 line will be made in china...
I don't advocate to go out now to buy expensive,totally boring,cheap looking Honda afreeka-tweens now with heavy tubed wheels... as the Japanese lost their ability to make desireable motorcycles long time ago.
The best Japanese superbike is made in Berlin since autumn 2009... and a all new S1000RR advancing the game is lurking around the corner...

Would that be the Mexico where we got stopped for speeding just a few months back where the police are so bent that they just want money , and where friends were beheaded for fun ? You’re welcome to it. I’ll stick to Europe on my boring heavy Africa Twin .

Last year, the mothership sold circa 50000 GS/A.

There are hundreds of thousands of GS WC out there. The proportion of failures are very low...

I like and own BMW bikes and cars. That is why I'm on a BMW forum....

If you don't like BMW, good for you. If you reckon orange/blue/yellow is the best - go your hardest.

Arguing which is best is utterly pointless on a brand-specific forum....

Yes the failure rate may be lowbut there shouldn't be any safety related failures ie 0%, it is unacceptable that after the front fork fiasco that the same basic bike the gs rallye is suffering any wheel issues never mind multiple ones on the same bikes, penny pincing and poor quality control FFS my 2018 model got off the production line, through the factory inspection and through the BMW UK inspection without realising that 2 specified options were missing and one of them was the sat nav prep which is hardly invisible the locking cradle and thumbwheel are giveaways

 

[Boxerlust]

Arsey you watch way too much fake news ! I have been to Mexico every year since 1999 and never had any problems.
Where did you get stopped and what friends of yours got beheaded ??
I got stopped once doing 224 km/h in a 70 km/h zone on my then R1200S.All the policeman did talk about how much he liked his german H&K pistol and said to me despite exceeding 3 times the speedlimit "buy a Honda they are faster" and gave me the thumbs up wishing me lots of fun in his country... I wanted to give him 500 pesos for dinner with his wife/girlfriend but he refused to take any money.
Wonderful country and people Mexico who love motorcycles !
Of course there are areas where the cartels rule but they give you way more freedoms than our cartels called police...
In the "land of the f(r)ee" I would have been in jail and my bike impounded...
Not on the german Autobahn but for the rest of Europe it is probably as bad and restrictive as the US is where riding motorcycles is no fun anymore.
Have fun despite having to ride a booring Afreeka Tween...at least it is not as uncomfortable as your ex R Nine T Scrambler and way more reliable...
