I was looking at a R1200GSA TU today. It has less than 2000 miles on the clock but is at the far end of top book.
What is the reliability, lastability etc like on these 2010 bikes.
I know the early bikes are a bit problematic with their ABs and what not. Is there anything worth looking out for, points of concern that have developed with this generation of the GSs?
Cheers.

Re: 2010 BMW R1200GSA TU?
Never had a problem with mine in 24k, apart from a dodgy reading fuel gauge
Some one who has never had one will be along telling you there crap I dare say, but I would have another one no
problem (thumbs)

I have a 2011 twin cam and think they are by far the best sorted of the lot ( I would say that ! )
They even got rid of the ridiculous fuel strip
Does it have ESA and ABS ?
I spent an age looking for one with neither

Comes with a 2 year warranty for a bit of piece of mind.

My understanding is the 2010 model TU ran until the new LC
The last and best sorted of the oil cooled

I really liked that r1100 of yours.Flintlock wrote:I replaced my R1100GS with a 2010 GSA. A great bike to ride. No regrets getting it (thumbs)
Re: 2010 BMW R1200GSA TU?
had mine 2 years, but it was a special order stripped down bike no extras, heated grips, satnav mount etc as this was going to be a very high mileage bike 70k plus in 20 months and i needed reliability and no trinkets
