RE: so, who has ordered a 1250? - 15

Like others, I've had a call today to say 1250 RS n/a until September. Seems crazy, I am just glad I haven;t committed to buying one yet. In spite of riding the 1250 GS and being impressed, I wanted to ride a 1250 RS to make sure they haven't changed something and messed the package up. Looks like I shall be waiting a while. Good job I just bought out my bike then....

If you had committed you may have been at the front of the list, cant complain when you turn up late for the bus and its gone.

Those bikes being delivered in September are they 2019 or 2020?

The assembly lines are modified during the summer holidays, when most workers are away and production is reduced, so I would think they are producing 2020 models by then. Maybe (hopefully) new colors for 2020 will be announced towards the end of the year.

Yes, but Brian committed, paid a deposit and signed an order, and is now being told there is no bike until September.

I paid in November and still being given an assurance of mid April, one can only trust their dealer, if it goes pear shaped

My order has now also been cancelled. Same story - RS production delayed until September. ☹️

although Ged has a point as I have waited and waited and still not ordered and I hope he does get his when the dealer says I do not want my bike in September. Although not a fair weather biker I do not want a new bike sat more often in my garage from October to March than out on the road and when I can get out to ride during those months having to put up with salted roads etc.

Does piss me off that BMW are willing to put the date back meaning that people willing to order early and put their trust in the new bike and them can set a new date when for much of North Europe it is the end of the biking season for the majority of people. lack of respect for the customer!!!

well at least I will get a test ride but of course will now cost me a lot more as my bike will be a year old and more mileage so part ex will be worse.

Thanks BMW for not very much funny you didn't do this to the GS and RT

Graham the grumpy

I had a call today from BMW dealer as likely graham did, that call was to tell me that they were sorry but the delivery date is in September, this was the info given to them this morning from BMW.

Again i have cancelled mine. for the same reason Graham has, not having a new bike sitting around for the winter.



Ged

My dealer was helpful and worked through a few scenarios with me to see which was the most acceptable and least financially damaging.

In the end I decided to go with another GS having been offered a good deal on a new one. I had had a GS for nearly two years and done over 11k miles so it did not make sense to pay for an extended warranty and put another 5k miles on it this summer before belatedly getting an RS.

Commiseration to those who had firm orders which have been cancelled it must suck to have your plans balls'd up like this.

Waiting for BMW to come back to me after talking to dealer to see what offer they make
Brian 🤯

ok had a strop moment as any mature 63 year old with a maturity problem would have and emailed Hendrik Von something Chief Executive of BMW Motorad Germany. Not great grammar or well worded email but as stated was having a strop moment or two.

it said

"Hi Hendrik

I am writing to advise you of my annoyance and anger at the way BMW treat BMW riders of bikes unless you ride a GS or RT. I along with many other riders in the UK had been willing to pre order the new R1250RS with the advice that these would be arriving in April this year ready for the main biking riding season for anyone in North Europe. To now find out that you could not be bothered in keeping to your timescales and push this back to September is such poor customer service. This means that, if ordered now we would have the bike arriving sometime after September and therefore in the garage most of the time between October to March 2020 and a waste of a new bike. What a ridiculous time to get bikes out to dealers.

The other point is that this plays into your profits and the dealers as our current RS1200s will now be at least 6 months if you want to get a bike that will sit in your garage for 6 months and a year older if you sensibly look to buy the new bike about April 2020. My part exchange will be much poorer than that I have been offered by the dealer.

I need to consider why I bother to continue to buy BMW bikes when you treat your customers so poorly.

A disgruntle BMW owner who you have so little respect for

Graham Lewis"

It might not go directly to him but who knows

a stroppy BMW owner for now
