Why did you sell the first ATAS you had ?
My 1300GS has had issues . Loads of error messages . I charged the battery . All fine now .
The 1300GS is the best GS ever built .
A total delight to ride and the best adventure bike out there by far .
It’s fast , has the power every where in the rev range , handles superbly for a bigish bike and has all day comfort . Proper all round bike that does everything brilliantly

I fancied an XR !!
Hire one for a weekend
Cheaper and less hassle
If you then like a bike after a long test ride buy it
Morning, totally agree with that hence I have tolerated my two for the last two years in the hope that they will sort it out but there do seem to be more issues than is normal which is very disappointing.

go for the ATAS. I had one prior to my 1250gsa and did 11k faultless miles in a year on it.
6 year warranty now!
Barry
Exactly !!
Ill see what the guy says today !!

If you take the XR back. Would there be one extra owner on the log book?
Possibly ways around it. But a bit of a faff.

Does it matter much?
Oh - that's not good to hear.
Why are you even hear if you think BM is so bad? I know plenty with 1300's and have had no issues. GS, GSA, ASA's.
@Adventure Boy can you not ask them to swap your 1300 for something similar?
Haha fair enough. I can imagine it's frustrating to have a new(ish) bike broken so I get people's frustration in here.I here you
I have a GSA in my garage .
Just not one that breaks down on the first ride
I just got a quote to trade my 1250 in against a 1300 (they need 1250 stock apparently)..makes me think I'll just hold onto my 1250
genuinely - I would. had a discussion last night re same as I sold my lovely and reliable 1250 to get an 'upgrade'Haha fair enough. I can imagine it's frustrating to have a new(ish) bike broken so I get people's frustration in here.

It's just the extra cost and "risk" of issues with a 1300. It was the GSA.
I might switch if BMW lower their APR to 4.9% but I'm quite happy with my "old girl"
correct, I did 23k miles on my 1250 and it didnt miss a bit. I have owned two 1300's that have had countless issues (one currently in BMW for further testing following throttle body replacement). that's the evidence based on personal experience.Let me see if I got this right!! So many negative comments about the GS/GSA 1300, but then they say “if I could afford it or if they pay good money for my GS 1250 I would buy one”
