I wouldn't allow them to be ridden either. They are disgustingly hideous. It ain't a bike, it's a transportation device.

Pretty good of BMW, mostly manufacturers just deny problems until the wheels fall off or a few dozen die.

I am still waiting for the recall on my R90/6 for bad brakes.

I had heard about this earlier. I find this funny in a very sad pathetic way.

If the R1200RT owner would prefer a loaner, the BMW dealership will work with them to provide a different BMW model temporarily and also provide them with $1,000 to be used for BMW accessories/gear at their dealership or towards payments on their RT.

...since BMW Motorrad dealerships are independently owned franchises, participation in the loaner program and availability of models as a loaner or replacement will be up to the individual dealership.

I'm sure there are plenty of these laying around waiting to be lent out.

Then you could spend your 1000 bucks on BMW T shirts and hats saying,
"My other BMW is even worse"


Or you could take the $2500 and buy an Airhead.

I think I'd go with "My real one doesn't work."
