#1 | Bor-S is new here datum

Dear co-owners of the BMW1200RS, my name is Rob Smit, registered here as Bor_S,
Have been watching for a while, but now it was time to introduce myself.

I have been driving a motorcycle since I was 18 years old, I have had many different engines and have been driving the last period of BMW, a few R1100s with a total of 200,000 km. I have been driving an R1200RS for a year now. Purchased this as a demo with less than 1000km.
Drive all year round, and have now driven almost 25000km. Enjoy the engine, but it is a problem with vibrating, I will open a topic for this.

Greetings from the Netherlands, Rob

Hi Rob - welcome!

Didn't you know that BMW deliberately put vibration into boxers - it's part of the heritage! don't want to make it too Japanese....

I know the are a bit vibrating, that I understand and like to a certain level.
This 1200 did vibrated a little op to 10.000 km, and then i got worse, a lot worse. Now after 15 minutes, I loos feeling in my fingers, not real save.
