2010 BMW R1200GSA TU?

Post by TomBoyNI »

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.

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

It has both.

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

Is your 2011 and the 2010 the same generation?

My understanding is the 2010 model TU ran until the new LC

The last and best sorted of the oil cooled

I replaced my R1100GS with a 2010 GSA. A great bike to ride. No regrets getting it (thumbs)

Yep was a great bike, 95000 miles on it when i traded it in. But imho the 1200 GSA is a far better and more enjoyable bike to ride.

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
