Has anyone heard if BMW has started production again? I know it was supposed to be in April, but no word on website.
I am ordering a fully loaded F900xr.
thanks!

Don't tell me we are going to have another Chinese Beemer

Yes, but thus far no extraordinary premature cam wear or leaking brakes as with the non Chinese 1250's.
Stator, stater and brake issues like the Indian products?
None on mine.
Lets see. K1600 transmissions. K1600 water pumps. R1250 brake calipers. R1200 shocks. K1200 final drives. R1150GS final drives. R1200 and R1240 camshafts. So how many of these were made in China? How many made in India? Clue - the answer is, as far as I can find out = zero. The possibility is that German exceptionalism is nowadays as elusive as American exceptionalism.
Was the engine designed by Loncin or BMW?
Big difference between Chinese designed vs Chinese manufactured (i.e. iPhone).
I have 3k on my F850GSA. No issues to date.
I must admit I swing by the MOA forums mainly for the laughs
But you have identified the chief source of my amusement
Sometimes I’m amazed how quickly and completely threads go off topic around here
This thread being a prime example
I suspect the OP learned his lesson
Never ask for advice or pose a question on an MOA thread
Because you’ll probably get advice you did not seek or answers to questions you didn’t ask
The OP was asking when production would resume at BMW motorcycles, and specified the model he/she is hoping to order. Since chinese engines are used in this model, and China has experienced major manufacturing disruptions due to the coronavirus, it is perfectly on topic to mention the country of origin for the engine used in this model, as it may have a bearing on when production will resume every bit as much as what is happening at a BMW factory in Germany.
