BMW GS Update
- Thread starter Goldwing
- Start date
There is no question the BMW is an awesome ride. When I looked at it, my issue was the price and incremental utility to be had for the price and I just did not see the value (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_utility) add in a few idiosyncrasies with supply chain issues and the Yeoman like Super Ten was an easy choice for me.
Enjoy your ride

Congrats on the new machine.
Gotta ride what you like!

Congrats!! I have a 2019 R1250GS and absolutely love it, by far so much better than mt 2014 S10, not even close!There is no question the BMW is an awesome ride.

I'm back to give another ownership experience update on my 2019 R1250GS. I have just over 15,000 miles on her and not a lick of trouble.
Will need new tires in about another 1000 miles. I have the bike 3 years now and still think its the best ADV bike out there.
Yes, more expensive initial cost when compared to a new S10 but such an amazing bike.
The service costs have not been too expensive (IMO), minor service $250 (every 6500 miles), major service (every 12,500 miles) $1200. I ride about 5000 miles a year on the GS but also have a 2017 Goldwing that I put around another 2000 miles on per year.
Have fun and ride safe!
