Can anyone advise me. I want to change the pipe on my 1200 GS (back box only), for something with a bit more character, but not too noisy. At the moment it seems like I can only find Remus and Akrapovic. Can anyone advise what they have done, and are they road legal yet giving the bike a bit more character? Also some idea of costs (aluminium is fine)

been looking at buying one of these bikes 2nd hand, but not sure which one to go for. i have never had a bmw before, so not sure what to expect, having heard tales of batterys and engine/drive seals needing replacing at low milages,any body else had problems i should know about i like the look of the 1150 to the 1200's rather plasticy fairing, a dealer i spoke to said the 1200 was far better bike but it was nearly 4 grand more. thanks kevin.

I'm getting a bit miffed at the faults recurring on my GS, so thought worth giving you all a list to open up for suggestions on how get some er, "after sales service" 100 miles - gearbox imploded. Very kindly replaced by BMW. No explanations. Bike still flings itself out of 2nd gear, usually when accellerating round a corner. Battery - temp. gets frosty, make sure you have the AA on speeddial Electrics - where to start. 1. Go off road or over a speed bump, all electrics fail. No ABS, lights, etc etc. 2. Take keys out, bike still ...
Help! I'm after some feedback on the older model (ie upto 2005) K1200GT, as I'm considering buying a '03/04 model. MCN shows only a review on the new model, and Parker's doesn't include a listing for GTs at all. What should I look out for when buying one (probably from a dealer), and what does it cost to run etc. Any info welcome.

[b]BMW seems to support its dealerships on the sale of Stolen/Recovered motorcycles, e.g. I bought a %XA35,200 BMW R1100RT from an authorised BMW dealership in Rednall, Birmingham to find out 2 months later the bike had been Stolen/Recovered, re-stamped by police put together and sold to BMW who knew it had been restamped and sold it on regardless.. motto of "history known, future guaranteed" is BullS**T[/b]
