Sold my 1200GS last week for personal reasons but not before ironing out some of the niggles, most of them common to others on this forum. Here is a summary of my experience over just 2,500 miles:
- gear selector not working. Turned out that it was faulty, not sealed and there was a clip missing. Had a few hairy rain rides when the indicated gear bore no resemblence to what was happening
- battery flat one morning, no logical explanation. Turned out the bike software needed re-programming.
- pannier wouldn't come off. New locking mechanism installed.
It was and still is a fantastic bike, shame I lost a few days off work and of course riding a courtesy R850 or F650, even for a day, is no substitute for the real thing.
** For those who are interested am selling my BMW RALLYE 2 SUIT and Gloves on ebay from today for 10 days **
I'm very sorry to see it go and am sure the new owner (a UKGSER forum member) will be very happy. Au revoir.
