In this video I describe my experience in the ownership costs of the BMW R1200GS Rallye. These costs included the high price for service and the frequent tire changes required to keep this motorcycle reliable. I also talk about the cost of repairing this motorcycle after the front front ESA shock started leaking. Thankfully, it was under warranty for a few more months. The cost of ownership can applied to the new R1250GS and the GSA. These bikes are expensive to maintain and I talk about what I have learned over the last three years of adventure motorcycle riding.
