True ?

I've heard that BMW recalled a mass number of K1200 all over europe, due to engine problems.
That makes me feel worried a bit cause BMW seems to produce models without caution and it also makes me calm cause 1200gs is not the only BMW model that has problems

Happens all the time with other manufacturers too. You have to be careful buying a new model bike in its first year of development.

FWIW, there's recently been a recall for Honda VFRs foing back for two or three year old models!

I got one myself too eight months ago and thank God it's working perfectly...
Although there are lots of ppl complaining
about their R12GS...
I'm happy I'm not one of them (yet)

Only time will tell as you can see by my user name i am no stranger to KTM ,
It seems BMW riders use them everywhere every day if they can as most s/hand ones have car miles on them ,not seen this on a ktm yet
I like KTM but i want to do big miles & need a shaft drive hence 12GS
