1250GS needs to either be paid off or handed back in July. Been 4 years and I'm nearly at 20k miles.
It's had a couple of recalls, an ABS sensor issue, exhaust valve problems and has corrosion where the cylinder casings join the engine block. Balloon is £9k so fuck that.
Test drove a Zero DSR/X just before I went on holiday and I really enjoyed riding it but £16k for something that support could dry up for if they go bust is worrying and PCP deals are like 11%.
Off to test drive a new 1300GS Saturday. PCP is more around 8% and warranty is top notch obvs.
Anything else to consider?
Roughly 8k miles per year commuting (inc winter). 90 miles per day, 3 days per week ish.
