BMW R1250GS 2 year owners review and test. It’s been just over two years with my BMW R 1250 GS Rallye, so its time to share my experience and thoughts, the good and the not so good, the positives and the negatives, upgrades and my favourite top 5 accessories. This episode is just 1 of currently 29 episodes all about the R1250GS/A covering lots of different topics and with several episodes explaining BMW technology and things like how to get the best from your dynamic ESA suspension. If you have any questions, just leave me a comment and I will reply… Hopefully you enjoy the content I create, so by Subscribing you are letting me know, that you appreciate the effort and time I invest in creating these episodes, and it also helps to grow and develop the channel. Best Wishes, Carl Below are the links to my 5 top accessories that I talk about in this episode; most are available on Amazon at a very good price: Just click on the link below… For the replica screen mounting brackets see the below Amazon links. please be aware that the ones I ordered came from eBay. The original seller no longer lists them, but they are still available from other sellers, and the prices varies from 15€ to 35€. But I have also found them on Amazon on ( .com and .co.uk and .de ) see the links below. Please note: that which ever seller you purchase them from, you will need to buy the additional bolts. What I did was remove the original BMW ones and take them to a hardware store and buy the same bolts in stainless steel, you can also order these in titanium. If you live in (Germany) or Europe, you can get them on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/4cmn2KO If you live in the United Kingdom....
