Had 2 bmws a gs and gsa. Loved them both were they reliable well no.
First one a 2005 gs inside the first year battery fuel pump controller right side injector and final drive went in under 30000 miles second one was bought with 9000 miles on it full bmw service history a 2007 inside a year and at 22000 miles final drive and clutch went. Both bikes fully bmw serviced and well looked after.
All items were replaced under warranty but final drive failure.on the first one meant i lost 3 days of my holiday and had to be flown home by bmw and i had to.pay for repairs before claiming it back.
Would i buy another gs no now have a 2003 multistrada which so far is going better than the gs s did at a fraction of the cost.
My wife rides an 18 year old africa twin which has needed only a rectifier in 2 years.
For my travelling in 5 years time i fancy a ktm 950 adventure should be able to.afford one by then.
Reasonably simple to fix.
Just my 2 pence worth.
