Just wondering if BMW ever released, to the public, their report\findings regarding the above fatality?
However, the GS did disappoint me during a casual ride down an open dirt road. I was standing up to get cool air through my riding gear, traveling about 45 mph, when I encountered a washboard section. In an instant and with seemingly no provocation, the bike went into a wild tankslapper that threatened to throw me from the bike. It was a very panicked second before the steering regained its composure.
Production was delayed and delivered units came with a steering damper that was not fitted on the press intro bikes.
I don't think that is correct... in fact, I am sure it's not.
2013 GSWs DID not have a steering damper (a friend of mind has one and it does not have it). 2014 GSWs DO HAVE them now. My RT has one, I think it was decided for whatever reason after the 2013 model year that the new Waterheads needed one.
Curious how it is anyone would think any manufacturer would release such a report.
"Entitlement" is running amok, no?
I was chimping what I had read, sorry if I had picked a bad sourceI don't think that is correct... in fact, I am sure it's not.

Agree. It is remarkable that corporations tend to keep secrets (with some notable exceptions) better than governments.
