That's the van that brought back my GS with its new engine this morning.
I dare say 2 years (+ a vital 3 months) it arrived in a crate similar to that in the same yard & I was as excited as you are you now.

BMW has sold over 125,000 LC engined GS and GSA's since they were launched in 2013. The number of bikes that have had replacement engines is in double figures.
Which means approximately 99.5% of LC GS's made won't have the corrosion issues mentioned on this forum, so most won't be worried.

Which means approximately 47.5% of LC GS's made won't have the corrosion issues mentioned on this forum, so a few won't be worried.

He must have a really shit dealer as mine would have taken a starter motor off a stock bike
Then they go on to sell the bike as new to some unsuspecting buyer?
Indeed. I'm glad mine will be painted black, along with the rear rack before I take delivery of mine.
Bike looks good Rich, apart from the orange reflector on the fork leg
When are you getting yours and which dealer?
If a dealer fits a new starter motor to a new bike does that make the bike second hand in your eyes then?
He cant, it was made up.
Out of the 125k lc gs sold, how many had a warranty claim?

I'd not noticed that. I ordered mine from Dean, and it'll be arriving within the next week or so.
So no more than 99 then?
How do you qualify that figure?
A friend is a senior BMW technician, and has access to the stats.
What makes you think it was made up?
It wouldn't be too difficult to find out how many had a warranty claim, but my post was in response to those talking about replacement engines.
And he works in the Warranty Dept in Berlin does he?
He doesn't need to, he works at BMW HQ in the UK. He has access to all warranty claim information.
