2002 BMW R 1150 GS review from United Kingdom
"Sex on wheels"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Paint on fork bridge cracked and flaked after 2 years (warranty replacement). Doing the same again.
Paint on bevel box blistered (warranty replacement)
Battery failed after 4 years (replaced by gel battery).
General comments?
Must be the best motorcycle BMW have made (apart from the R90S). Far superior to the R1200GS. I'll keep this one forever (or until they bring out something to equal or better it)
