Just had my 2016 R1200GS TB in for it's 10k km service with Duffys in Finglas, and have to say I'm quite happy with the whole process. I'd heard a few not so flattering stories, and more recently heard a very positive story from another GS rider. So reckoned the best thing to do was to go find out for myself. The only dealer options in Ireland are Duffys in Dublin and Kearys in Cork, which is about a 3 hour ride away so not exactly convenient from my location.
Bike was due to be serviced on the Tuesday after Easter, but I dropped it into Duffys the Saturday before, as I knew Tuesday would be mad busy in work after the BH weekend. Fork recall issue was sorted along with the usual bits for the 10k km service. Bike was also given a 'BMW health check' and found to be in good health (always nice to know). Bike picked up on Thursday when the sun was shining . Full cost of service was a touch over €200 which I was quite happy with. So far, I haven't encountered the 'running a Beemer will bankrupt you' issue, despite all the accessory buying I've done since getting the bike!
Tea/coffee was offered on each visit and it was also a nice opportunity to ogle over some R9Ts, the G310R and the G310GS. All in all a pleasant experience, so here's one more flattering story for the lads in Finglas.
