There are about 4000 06 r1200gs out there with a bad main bearing. I am told if you have no trouble in the first 1000 miles the engine will be OK.
My friend was stranded in west TX by this bearing failure.
A rebuild is 3000 bucks but BMW are picking up the bill and back charging the bearing manufacturer.
I do agree the Tiger is too tall for most of us guys under 6 foot.
I am waiting for the new model. Hopefully it will have an adjustable seat like the BMW.
I agree with the bufeting comment too. Hope the fixed that as well.
