Greetings, fellow Teneristi!
I'm glad to join this very lively forum. I got my silver XT1200Z First Edition in October. For me, there was no other choice: here in & around Munich, with the BMW headquarters and all, everybody and their moms are riding GSses. And everyone of them keeps telling you what a great bike that is and how accomodating the BMW dealers are while fixing all the minor and major reliability issues with the GS...
Anyway, I'm lucky to have made 16.000 km / 10.000 miles so far with my Super Ténéré (only one very minor issue concerning one of the headlight bulb connectors) and I'm loving the bike more with each km. I'm more of an on-road-rider, and of course I'm just loving the Alps, which are one hour away from here. I've also started to video some of my tours and uploaded them to youtube. One of the nicer ones is this: http://youtu.be/lZwhOwnnvOo
You can check out my channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/christophschm
The only major mod to my bike is a LeoVince SBK slip-on exhaust to replace the whimsy original.
Next week I'm starting a 8.000km/5.000 miles trip to Gibraltar/southern Spain, of course with the XT1200Z, and of course I'm very excited.
So much for now.
Christoph
