1200 GSA speed limit with Continental TKC 80 tires

[talbengal]

When I got my 1200 GSA with Continental TKC 80 tires I got also a little sticker on the handle bar say: ‘Max 100 MPH’
When I asked what it is the BMW dealer answer that it is the limit for any 1200 GSA with those tires because over 100MPH the bike have tendency to develop a swing (??!!).
I could not find any documents on BMW web site.

Any one knows anything about this?

Riding to Poland, at the beginning of this month, I stack to the 90-95MPH because of this warning, around Belgium after about 180 miles the bike start to swing weirdly I was under importation this is because of the high wind and the heavy lode I had (going to Poland for 10 day with your girlfriend require more stuff). The next time I notice it was at the new motorway in Poland between Poznan and Warsaw, at this time it was heavily raining and I (again) related this to the rain and the wind.
No problem at all in all Poland bad roads up until I was heading back to UK.

On the motorway back from Warsaw to the German border next to the Poznan again I started to feel this weird swing at first I was thinking it is in the same spot as on the way to there but this time the weather was nice and the swinging got bad to a point where I could not controller the bike, I was doing 85MPH at the time and try to close the throttle, at about 75MPH the swinging was so bad that I realized I am going to crash, at this point there was an old lorry tier on the motorway and I could not steer the bike with this swing away from it ….

All left to do is close my eyes and pray. OK nothing much of a damage to the bike, I have 2 broken ribs and minor scratches – LUCKY ME.

Dose any one know any thing about this problem???
Please I think we need to alert BMW and other riders about it.
