This is quite a departure for BMW, isn't it?
FWIW, here in the states, all of the R1200GSs sold have been designated as 2005 model year bikes and mine (picked up in April) had the full tool kit and flat repair kit.
I will try to find out if this was a running change that affected those bikes shipped from Sept on.

Tool Kit
Just picked up my 1200 GS today and whilst having a good nosey checked my toolkit only to find just a handfull of tools
no torx keys no puncture repair kit
how do they expect you to remove the wheels etc for tyres
if i had know it was this minimal i would have nicked all the tools from my 1100S that i traded in which had everything
looks like a trip to halfords plus a letter to BMW
still a great bike though

Had my 1200 about three weeks and there is nothing in the manual and i've only got a few spanners under the seat too, no puncture repair kit or ouwt.
Bracknell
Has anyone written to HQ at Bracknell about the "alleged" tool kit?
I remember a Bike test write up that commented on that you could tell how BMW held their customers in high regard by the state of the toolkit which put most peoples tool kits to shame.
