Just gave my bike back to bmw - they admitted that the 1200 LC vibrates and lot, and mine more so. Gave me my money back (i rode it 8 months) and a great deal on the new 1250, which is MUCH smoother.

Engine sound is something that isn’t engineered into the bike. It’s what happens when the EPA regulates how much db is allowed coming from the exhaust. The High cost of parts isn’t a problem, you bought the bike knowing parts would be expensive. It isn’t a British bike! Traction control is somewhat over rated. As far as it goes, it is more of a farkle than a necessity. Finally the weight is there on the spec sheet. Fifty pounds lighter still makes it a quarter ton motorcycle... if you can pull 500 pounds out of a mud bog, then you can pull out 550 pounds. I don’t see any of your “points” as valid, more nit-picking than anything else. Maybe the new BMW 310 is a better fit for you. So, here you have a nice GS. I have one too. I like the sound, I enjoy the ride height too. Replacement parts are only an expensive if you buy them new. I like the heavy feel. I feel safe and anchored to the road when a huge truck stirs up a vortex. Finally, the traction control on most bikes are a relative to where you want to ride a heavy, funny sounding, expensive motorcycle. ........ in this instance a BMW. Not trolling, just not agreeing with you on your assessment of this very nicely engineered Motorcycle.

If we're riding off road and using these things like tractors, then it should have a tractor-like first gear. Then you might (just maybe) be able to crawl through the tight places instead of blasting and crashing or abusing the clutch to find the right speed.

I agree point 1. Is BMW using lead parts in bike? I'd replace your 2 and 3. With: 2. Position of muffler. Why uppright? It prevents using proper pannier on muffler side. Same issue in older oil heads and new wet heads. People install big pizza boxes outside of muffler which makes wide bike even wider. On non-muffler side the BMW vario pannier is really good. 3. Why extra universal joint at rear? This has left so many riders alone in dark when the joint or shaft splines give up. And w´two more issues in general: Why BMW changed the shaft drive to left side when the water cooling was introduced to boxers? To sell more panniers since the old ones don't fit ?? And last not least. BMW sales organisation. They have 'killed' small dealerships with good customer service and skilled and motivated service persons. Now there has to be marble desk and and lot of bling in Beemer shop, they certainly make bikes so expensive but don't give any extra value to customers.

Totally disagree with you here. Firstly the big boxer sounds great, very distinctive. Secondly when touring at steady revs you don’t want a loud droning wringing in your ears which gets tiring. If you don’t break the headlight you won’t get a big bill. Simple. Self servicing is cheap and easy on these. Where’s the issue? Weight is simply not a problem. I’ve dropped mine, the low CoG allowed getting it upright a doddle. That was a GSA. You’ve picked the wrong bike if regularly off roading as most never see the dirt, they’re way too big and weighty for serious off road work unless in the hands of very skilled riders and fitted with proper tyres for the job. Finally there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the traction control. Sounds like its simply not the bike for you. I’ve owned loads of these and they’re cheaper on parts than Harley and way lighter, go and handle better and unlike Triumph are well put together and reliable. The boxer sound is lovely, the balance is lovely, the ride is lovely. I really don’t know what you expect as few do it better. Not everyone wants or appreciates loud bikes especially those of us actually using them as intended and who appreciate refinement.

Parts may be expensive to discourage owners from keeping the vehicle on the road for a long period of time. Buying a new bike is what 's preferred. There also may be agreements with other stakeholders governing such.

I remember a few years back I rode a 2007 R1200GS 2200 kms over Australia’s Snowy mountains. It had a stock exhaust. I really grew to love the the subtle tone of the twin. Just something about it.

With a big bike there is only so much they can do to cut weight. But I agree about the sound, that's why I went with the triple, there is just no way I could listed to that boxer engine all day.
