Bought a 2014 Vstrom(new shape) in 2018, now on 35k mileage.
Heart always drawn to a GS but always concerned about the maintenance cost of the brand...
The fact that they manage to clock up such big mileage also draws the attention.

Can possibly get a 2014 GS1200 with 23K on the clock, spotless condition for 150K....obviously trade in the Vstrom. GS has panniers etc.

Not a big fan of offroad riding but if the opportunity arises, then one doesn’t want to be concerned about the bikes abilities.

Is the myth true about the fact that BMW is indeed such a high maintenance cost bike?

Obviously if I do buy the BMW would the idea be to keep her until at least paid for in full. Travelled 7000km’s with the Vstrom since Oct’18 until now.

Would appreciate some suggestions/advice etc.
