Yes. On the car side, I remember when Hyundai had early issue - they manned up and stood behind their product and fixed it.

We are part of BRP's test program...

i didn't realize BMW came out with the 1200 in '14. I was really hyped up on the 1600 GTL and they had a slew of issues early on. Great looking bikes with electronics galore....

As I see it..!!

they would if they had BMW's problems. Theirs is more of a comfort problem and less of a safety issue. They are trying but could work faster and do better for sure...jmo

I think Research & Development has been replaced by "customer testing" in order for vehicle company's to improve their BOTTOM LINE on their profit & loss statements !!!

i had the 2013 k1600 gtl and was lucky not to have any problems with it, but a friend of mine had one and it was in the shop more times than he rode it. all bmw did with him was to just keep fixing it until he traded it in for another bike. here is the one i had

Glad to see BMW step up to the plate quickly.

I was also intrigued by the KL1600, but did not bite the bullet. I am to short for those German machines.

So far, been lucky with all five BRP :spyder2:'s. Would continue to be a customer were I in the market for another three wheeled steed.

If my left leg worked better, I'd still be riding my RT. It's a shame the way BRP treats there customers. My BMW service dept was top notch. If they kept it I got a loaner! ah the good old days.

Just to clarify. Are you saying boiling gas is a comfort issue?

Bummer for Beemer fans.

Boiling gas is not unheard of in the motorcycle world...

The Spyder is the first for me.

I've owned bikes for 30yrs and never heard of boiling gas either. Must be on Harleys.:roflblack:

 

[Bob Denman]

It boils... :shocked:
It's just usually not a perceived problem. :gaah:

Spyderbandit, You should really do some research before you post....just sayin'.
Its happened to all brands at one point or another, one bike or another.
Your 30 years of non-boiling gas must be on Schwinns.

How would research help with the fact that he has never heard of boiling gas, before? He didn't say it doesn't boil . . . he just said he had never heard of it . . . :banghead:
