I will be looking at a 2012 r1200gs at a dealer sat. afternoon. They are asking 10,999. The bike comes with panniers and top box, engine guard/s, skid plate and whatever other stock amenities like esa/abs etc. I've got no further information on any other options until I see it this weekend.
It's got 51K miles on it. I'm looking for the general consensus of our esteemed members on this years GS model. I could not find any recalls on a thread here that lists them which I bookmarked.
I offered 9K, it supposedly has new tires on it. WHAT should I be looking for on this bike when I look it over, and while I'm test riding it? Any quirks about this model I should be looking for? Problems that may be or have developed with that amount of mileage on it?
Really appreciate members familiar with this bike weighing in with the educated opinions and facts. I presently ride an 07 K1200GT that I really have grown quite fond of, but the trip to Alaska in mid July has me wondering if I shouldn't also put this bike in the garage for the trip and whether this one will be better for that trip or not.
Thanks in advance, this place is always a wealth of information to a neophyte like myself.
