Dealer confirmed K1200S delay

No BMW K1200S into USA until late Spring :cry:

Yeah, I was looking for it at the BMW exhibit at the Motorcycle show. But I really liked BMW's big dual sports. Here in Colorado, there are so many dirt roads I see from the main road. It would be nice to take them and see where they go.

You dont need a bmw for that, they have invented these called maps. They tell you where roads go. I know, i know...It is a crazy concept.

Any mention as to why?

Any mention as to why? BMW built 100 plus bikes for people to beat the crap out of on German race and test tracks. BMW even had internet contests on BMW forums to win free trips to Germany to test BMW K1200S. Few bikes had crankshaft problems. BMW shipped few hundred bikes to USA in September. BMW did the right thing and shipped bikes back to Germany for redesigned cranks. New manufacture run of BMW K1200S bikes will not be until March 2005 :cry: Dealers will be getting display bikes sooner, Probably repaired bikes from first run.

I got $10 that says that dirt road leads to a paved one....:)

I got $10 that says that dirt road leads to a paved one....:) I have a bike that can handle both...:)

I wonder how they will market these "rebuilds" till the new ones arrive? any major discounts? I would hope so.

So what you are saying is they shipped poorly designed junk that would break in the real world...Sounds more like HD every day!! Yeah, I'm gonna run right out and plunk down 20K + for one of those :screwy:

You dont need a bmw for that, they have invented these called maps. They tell you where roads go. I know, i know...It is a crazy concept. And they don't need batteries...like those electronic gadget gizmos!

Yeah, I'm gonna run right out and plunk down 20K + for one of those :screwy: Bumble, BMW's market is not the person who is looking to buy cheap ricer bikes :thumbs: Do any of the Jap bikes give 3 year 36,000 mile warranty? BMW stands by its product with long warranty. Since so few of the cranks failed they could have sold them and risked fixing under warranty like Jap manufactures would have done. :thumbs:

And they don't need batteries...like those electronic gadget gizmos! Batteries :lol: First class bikes have power outlets :dthumb:

That is a good point on the warrenties....I don't understand why some of the other manufactures, Jap and others, don't offer better warrenties? They really should!!! :rant:

I'd agree that the market for bmw's isnt anywhere near the same market audience as japanese sport bikes. but there's more than 1 japanese bike, sport-tourers if u will, that i'd take over a bmw..but thats just me. :) but one isnt any better than the other though. :thumbs:

Batteries :lol: First class bikes have power outlets :dthumb: 1st class crap you mean. :wink: You know whats so funny. How many kids get excited to sport Touring bike next them in traffic. You bike is boring and I bet 70% of the non riding public but confuse your bike with a harley...I mean boring, " here let me put up my highway bars and adjust my cup holder" Oh you think your bike is more confortable? I have spent days on the 1k with no problems. I would bet that I could make it across the US faster than you could. We should race! I would waste a weeks vaction for it. I wouldnt even need a week. 3 days tops. :wink:

I haven't split the cases in over 30 years on that bike.

While Twisty has some points on that...I don't mind it. To each is their own. A guy at my work has a similar if not the same bike. He puts down some serious miles on his. That's what he is into and good for him, at least he's on 2! I am looking forward to taking it out for a little spin just to see the other side of the world. I think the only problem is when some on that particular bike says its faster than say a 9R for example. It just isn't! I'm sorry, but that isn't the intention for the bike. So let's just leave it at that. The BMW is a lazy boy couch with a cup holder than can go on the road for long arse hauls! The sportbike, GSXR or whatever, is made for speed! It's clear and simple... :2cents:

LOL me drive a Honda?

I have a bike that can handle both...:) MY GOD...It's a Care Bear avatar!!!!!!!! As for what Gas said, I agree. I buddy of mine here at work is into the whole BMW bike thing. He loves the long rides. I guess it's good for sight seeing and stuff like that...if that's your bag...baby. Me, give me my 750 and let me go tear it up for a day. I don't have time to look at scenery....I'm too busy draggin' knees. Maybe when I'm .........lets say 90 I'll get on a BMW!! Hell, one of the VP's of my company is in his 50's and he's still kicking arse on a sportbike...guy owns 4 of them!!

LOL me drive a Honda? I bet what ever you drive is fastest, best handling car in your head :dthumb: Just like your bike is only bike any motorcycle rider should buy :crazy: All other bikes are slow, non handling or have drinks cups mounted with high bars :lol: You can only have fun with Twisty approved motorcycles :willy: Somebody needs to shrink their head :thumbs:

TALK ABOUT CRYING. And oh, by the way, Twisty's car is one of the quickest best handling cars out there. Take it from someone who has seat time in just about everything with 4 wheels. As far as best bikes go, we all know that KAWS are KING.

170 HP BMW sport bike not your cup of tea. Plenty of other sections to post in on this board :thumbs: That's fine, my Kaw pushed 116hp and I've got my next years salary says you can't hang with me for even a mile.

http://www.bmwmotorcycles.com/machine/models/model.jsp?model=k1200rs Your full of *****. Here is your bikes specs....LIAR... 13O BHP, Thats not even @ the back wheel!!! And then he is going to us a line that is not stock....BLAH BLAH :screwy:

170............NO NO NO...130hp. Nice try Jetski. Wow, will anything out of your mouth ever be the truth??? 130hp....OK, bet is still on but I'll start out in 2nd gear since you fluffed things up 40hp!

So who needs help now JETSKI. When I speak... I speak the truth. You speak of what is happening in jetski's magical fairy tale land.

He is talking about the new K1200S that is not out yet, it has a CLAIMED 170 HP...

New manufacture run of BMW K1200S bikes will not be until March 2005 :cry: That should still give you plenty of time to make it to the gap after Memorial Day, right?

Yes will be at Corvetteforum CI Memorial day weekend :thumbs: Maybe these guys can do gap week ahead of time, so I do not have to spend two weeks in KY and TN :smash:

Buy a map so you know where you're going

Twisty learn to read :loser: BMW K1200RS is not same bike as K1200S :thumbs: I was talking about your ugly a$$ bike man, not the one thats in fairytale land.

HOw about a night run through the Gap big talker. If not, Monday will work. I only need 1 day ....check that, about 10 minutes to show you how it's done.

I was talking about your ugly a$$ bike man, not the one thats in fairytale land. Thread about K1200S 170 HP bike. Then Twisty comes into thread with you liar 130 HP :crazy: Then you get owned ;) Twisty you really need to learn how to admit when you are wrong :loser:

I really don't understand this...I guess I am just that stupid...Here we are setting up a trip to get together and meet and greet and play and drink and ride together so we can really see the people we know from here and compare our rides, etc...And the one with the biggest mouth, the one who wants everyone to think he is so cool and rich, is gonna pass up an opportunity to come down and rub our faces in it, when he is going to be only a few hours away, makes me believe he has nothing but that big mouth. He!!, he is probably sitting at the public library using their computers because he doesn't have one of his own. I know I am not the fastest or slickest rider out there, I'll probably make a run for the fattest...But I will be there!

same 'ol "my internet penis is HUGE" theory of the mask of the internet...

How many internet get togethers have you attended traveling over 3000 miles??? Since thread is about K1200S bike, if K1200S bike is released in time will drive it to KY and stay extra few days :dthumb: New S bike will go over good at Vette event. Sorry not taking K1200RS to Corvette event of over 500 people to show maybe 20 people what K1200RS can do. RS cannot compete with true sport bikes, S bike will ;)

Have made trip from my farm in Illinois to Bellingham to San diego and back through New Orleans to here in Tally 4 times on motor. I walk your talk Bubba, and I will be there. And as a side note, I have made Sturgis the last 9 years in a row and 13 of the last 15 coming from either here in Fla or my farm in Illinois...so can I get you some cheese for all your Whine? That's why they call them Road Trips.
