Ok I am fairly new to GS ownership and I have to say for a supposedly premium product the build quality is far from premium, I have two bikes from the same year a Tiger 955 and a 1200GS both spent their lives out in the street and pretty much unloved cosmetically, the Tiger has cleaned up very well with virtually no corrosion( just a very small amount on the rims) the BMW on the other hand is corroded everywhere, there is virtually no paint left on the engine and the rear subframe is awful. The bike is currently going through a rebuild and as it's a 2004 model it's being rebuilt with a later engine and electrics which also means abs2, hopefully as all components will be re coated or painted I can banish the corrosion problems. But my point is that for a supposed premium product it is very fragile and very poorly built. Triumph explorer for me in the future I think.
Very disappointed
