BMW R1200GS Adventure
Hi Everyone

So as of Friday my GS is moer toe. Had a bad crash and I am sure insurance is gonna write it off, so now I have to decide what bike will be my next.

I had a 2017 BMW R1200GS and I want something of similar size and power.

My main requirement is seat height. I am 1.98m tall and to be comfortable I need a bike with a high seat. When I went from the 2010 GS ADV to the 2017 GS I was quite bummed by the lower seat.

So without this becoming a shit show can I get some feedback from people who own a BMW 1250 Adv / KTM 1290 / Ducati Multistrada Enduro

I would like some feedback on the following:

1. How much do the services cost? Heard Ducati services are very expensive
2. How are the JHB dealers? Do the try and screw you or are they decent?
3. How reliable are the bikes? Had 2 GS's and they only every needed services and tyres and petrol over the last 7 years
