The GS LC series is a great bike to ride. However there are known issues as I sure there are with other brands. People buy into BMW as its seen as premium something to aspiire to. Nobody can deny its heritage.
Fact is though the LC BMWs can be trouble some. Yes some people have never had an issue but there is a lot that do and as the 2013/14 bikes become older and mileage increases it will be will become more common to hear of failures. It is a best selling bike and BMW will have made loads of cash, however unless BMW raise the game in terms of quality then they may well lose market share.
I feel sorry for the dealers as the ones I have dealt with have been reasonable it is corporate BMW where the problem lies. They are in the firing line when it comes to poor quality and failures.
