Such a shame
The 1200 GS LC is without doubt the best do everything bike I’ve ever had, but it’s the only one that’s ever had half it’s guts replaced as well
If the 1250 is going to be more of the same I can’t see me staying with BMW when it comes time to change
Wonder when Honda is gonna replace the Crosstourer????.......

Quick look in the garage John, I hear munching.
I ordered a new 1250, collecting it in two weeks time. After reading this thread I’m thinking: OMG what have I done

Relax, you'll be fine.
They're a great bike - ignore the prophets of doom, most are still setting the timing with points and a Gunson strobe...

Do not let it wreck your happy day, its only a wind up, for sure a few with have the odd problem, like with anything new, but I doubt they will have a massive failure rate.
Yes - no more problems than the 1200 engine had in its first year.
BMW reliability for the 1200 and 1250 is becoming more known in the non BMW biking fraternity and it will make people think... If Hondas cross tourer is improved then BMW will feel the pain.
This is my last BMW for a while. Seriously thinking T700 in 18 months and a nice fazer 1000 to blow the cobwebs away.

Fear not, it’ll be fine. You only ever hear bad stuff on forums.

I wonder what they actually do with the Engines that are returned? Do they really just go in the bin or is there a wee bloke in a shed sorting them?
