Zitat von CJ the Bear im Beitrag #195 Yes (http://www.bmw-werk-berlin.de/en/) really intersting tour, I was there last summer Not so big, because it's within the city of Berlin (https://www.google.nl/maps/@52.5381677,1...=!3m1!1e3?hl=en) and yes, the bikes are assembled mostly by hand and No (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spandau_Ballet) |

Great info, thanks Gaucho. Have only driven through Germany, never took it in. It must be one for the a future tour...

Although Spandau Ballets’ name is from Berlin. For those of us who love 80s new wave synth pop and great Bavarian Mororbikes.

Zitat von CJ the Bear im Beitrag #195[/quote] Spandau Ballet got their name from a journalist that saw the name Spandau in a toilet in Berlin (from the Spandau prison where Rudolf Hess was imprisoned until his death 1987) It,s a massive production plant. The bikes are build mostly by hand on produktion line with an amazing logistic system for parts. looks like a great working place. They have guided tours for the public: https://www.bmw-besuchen.com/en/request The yellow outlines the factory plant.BMW motorradwerke 3d.JPG - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) |

I lived in Berlin for 3 years and used to cycle past the plant 2-3 times a week when I went to the Siemens gym.

well received an email from my dealer in Carlisle UK which says they have been told by BMW that the RS1250 will not be at dealers until September. Not certain why but that pisses me off!

Zitat von Brian63 im Beitrag #203 Had you actually placed an order and paid a deposit before you were told this? That would be useful to know as I'm trying to determine whether existing pre-orders (like mine) are delayed or just new orders. |

Zitat von boxter im Beitrag #205Zitat von fred_jb im Beitrag #204Zitat von Brian63 im Beitrag #203 I placed my order and paid deposit before Christmas, and have also been told twice that delivery should be in April, but I'm getting a little nervous due to these September comments. I am trading in my GS but I haven't yet signed ownership of this over to the dealer, partly due to danger of non-delivery of the RS. I don't want to be without a bike for the summer! |
