I ride a BMW K1600GTL. BMW stands for Bring More Wallet. I have a 18K service coming up and it will cost me north of 2K. The FJR is a great bike and far less expensive than the beemer to maintain. Stay upright and enjoy your trip
What ever bike one rides, if you take it to the dealer for all the recommended services, it will cost lots of $$$$'s. I had a 2013 K1600GTL and put 52K on it. The only service I had the dealer do was a valve check at 33K and all the valves were in spec's, they charged me $500. I had 25K on a K1600GA and did nothing but change the oil and filter. I"ve heard all the comments on how expensive the BMW's are to maintain and after having owned 4 of them in the last 10 years, I find that not to be true. I've been riding since 1968 and have owned many brands.
@@lawnranger3432 Very true, if you do the work yourself you only have to pay for parts, you can shop around for best quality parts and do the work better yourself than maybe some apprentice mechanic at the dealership.
I’m so jealous. It’s minus 10 here and need to wait 4 more months before I can enjoy my FJR. At least it gives me something to look forward to. Enjoy and happy new year !👍
Yes mate 165000k but she is up to 168000k I will put another 25000 k on the bike before the years out no mechanical problem yet let’s see how far it can go
