Video of Driveshaft failure on R1200 ... this one on an RS

[Grumpy Goat]

Came across this new video on YouTube. Apparently this guy is a certified BMW Master Technician. Nothing specific on the failure itself, just that the broken shaft was removed from the bike and a new one installed. What I found interesting is how completely the forward U-joint was broken (click here to jump ahead to the reveal) yet it sounded as though the owner was able to ride it enough to "feel vibration in the footpegs". He was lucky!
