sound like absolute shit yeah. Hear that left cylinder head ticking? It sounds like worn out sewing machine. I regret buying my 1200 LC for that same reason. Not sorry it's gone
Thanks Joe, I removed the cowls and panted them in flat black Plastic Dip, it turned out well and will peel off leaving the factory finish like new. It took 1.5 hours to do and $20 for a can of paint.
Saves you the $400 and something for the parts plus removal and install. Looks awesome, I just bought the same model and color. I’m gonna copy your idea!
I heard that now you can order one with Akrapovič exhaust right from BMW, not sure if it worth it though, considering you're gonna make many thousand kilometers on it... To me the stock sound is fantastic!
These are the ultimate adventure bikes, even betting than the k1600GT, i dont know why other makes dont have shaft driven bikes like bmw, every other adventure bike is chain driven.
At the time the bike was almost new, With over 25 000 km, now it seams to be less noisy, but nowhere as quite as the oil heads or even the pre shift cam lc
This is a well-known problem in the BMW 1250 with the left head. Valve lash adjustment, head changes and even engine changes do not solve the problem! Almost every R1250 has this problem.
The most beautiful colour on gsa😍👍
My dream
beautiful color in shadow, but completely different in the sunshine. my show-stopper
i have the same, about 4 weeks. Very very nice 👍👍👍☀️
Greats from Germany
Thank you. we have good taste! I am very happy with it so far. I just hit 7000 km
Never watched such an exciting video 😂
Congrats! That’s the color I’ve settled on.
In my opinion The engine sounds beautiful you have to ride this monster till understand 😉🤌😂❤

Thats the color I want as well, did it come with the black radiator cowls or special order, I like the black better.

You can order a Pizza from BMW - Ten times more though!
A Akrapovič exhaust is now installed on the bike, I will be uploading a vid soon.

The sound of the engine is just horrible, is something broken in engine? I have the air cooled one from 2008, the engine runs so smooth.

Je rêve avoir en ma possession une moto BMW R... Adventure , hélas ! Son prix est très élevé , Algiers.. Merci !
Sounds exactly like mine. Guess it's the price you pay if you want the increased performance.
Yeah, and you only hear it at idle,
Is this normal engine sound ?
Very bad sound 😖😖😖
Strange sound from the engine....🤔
