[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1462521, member: 19880"] Don't think Bob will be able to answer that until spring - no R1300GS in the wild yet. Many people love the R12xxGS bikes for touring. A long way from being a dirt bike, but more capable than the FJR off the beaten path. My issues with them as LD tourers are high initial cost, higher maintenance costs, lower ultimate reliability and poor dealer network. The lack of an available service manual means that you may pay high shop rates for some stuff you could do yourself. My closest BMW dealer is two hours away and I wouldn't deal with them except in an emergency. Next closest is six hours... [/QUOTE]
