[QUOTE="Kletsou, post: 1078124, member: 22799"] The most km I have done on a single GS 1200 is 85k km. I replaced the clutch with a ceramic one on 50k km (lots of technical riding in the Maluti mountains and this is a heavy bike to do it with). On the same bike I also fixed a cracked frame (heavy loads when touring). I have owned several and done lots of kms and other than normal maintenance never had issues. For a few years I went the KTM route and returned to the GS. To maintain a GS when you ride a lot is about 15% of the maintenance cost on the KTM's (my personal expierance with 3 KTM 1190,s and over 80+k km). Both brands are great rides for their purpose. I prefer the GS due to the more cost effective maintenance and the type of riding I do. Back to the original question - with higher km's there is more risk in buying 2nd hand and you find great deals on low km 2nd hand in the market [/QUOTE]
