Good Points

Riding a brand new 1200GS, ABS, BMW computer, adventure screen for 11 months, 28.000km now. That's 28k km without problems. (Changing worn tyres doesn't count). Reliable machine summer winter rain or shine. High seat giving excellent view on the road and riding position, easy handling. A good natured bear like bike that bites a lot of sportsbike riders when cornering. Little damage when you drop the bike at no / low speed.


Bad Points

I'm 6'3" and the adventure screen I bolted on causes a lot of turbulence around my helmet. High price to buy one. Ergonomics could be better, heavy for off road riding but the weight is gone when it rolls. Top speed could be higher.


General Comments

I use my R1200GS to commute (filtering through traffic jams) touring and fun rides. Excellent all round all road bike. A good bike to me and I really don't know what other bike to buy.
