Wow, That sounds Brilliant!!! Almost Makes You want to Buy one if You want a Bagger? Looked pretty Small and Nimble compared to what I was expecting! It is supposed to be Launched in Thailand at the International Motor Show end of this Month! Will be interesting to See it in the Flesh!

Looks and sounds good, trouble is I had a 1200gt which was very good, except the engine was poorly fuelled (7,500 revs had a very bad vibration- and was too lean). I asked BMW top country tech guy about when they where going to release a better fuel map for it .
The bike was 12 months old, 6 months into the k1300 years.
His answer
We will not do anything to improve it now, if you want a good bike sell it and buy a 1300gt
With support like that I will be very unlikely to ever buy a bmw again. Both new bikes I have bought since then have been better supported by the japenese.

The above was one of the comments in MCN, it looks like BMWs customer relations in the UK is on a par with Thailands, in other words crap
