service manual options

[Grumpy Goat]

We're good for another six years or so with the R1250RS using the R1200RS DVD.
With Debbie's arthritis I would be surprised if she can still ride after that.

I certainly hope that her arthritis does not do that as I know how she loves to ride. These RSs of yours, especially with the care you put into them, should last forever.

Personally, as long as there are Haynes manuals (as an example, because I presently like to work on my bikes, up to a point), the lack of BMW service manuals would have absolutely zero impact on any decision I make to buy a BMW motorcycle. As long as they offer that nice balance of performance, functionality, design and robustness, they may have my money (as long as the price is "acceptable"). Any of those variables go bust and I leave.

But that is just me ... As is typically the case I see things quite differently than most ...
