That’s irrelevant. I’m getting the same one again as it is so damn good.
Ding Dong got rid of his GS as he had issues, and swore he’d never have another one. The 1250 is the same bike, which will have the same cheap components, albeit with a slightly more powerful engine.
Yep I did, 2013 bike no 1 tried to kill and Bmw really looked after me extremely well, I'm not sure Ktm would do the same, actually they wouldn't. Bmw replaced the bike with a 2014 new one however after several issues it need another engine @ 2400 miles so I rejected it, they kindly gave me my money back and as a gesture of goodwill a voucher for £2200 to use on any new bike, however they stipulated it could not be used on a GS LC, that to me shows they knew they had issues at the time and did not like the hassle I was causing them, anyways I bought the XR.
At the time I said I would not return to the LC and still had my ultra reliable twin cam GS.
I never suffered any type of corrosion issues on either 13-14 bikes and now several years later I feel like I would like to dip my toes again but are you saying the quality is not on par of 13-14 year bikes ! I thought engine issues was a thing of the past now !
