Just the second one stolen. Greg is in shock how someone rode away his new GS out of a secured parking area.
Yes Ron, keyless entry is easily hacked. Software to steal your fob program is used by thieves just driving through neighborhoods and transmitting to the fob. If it is anywhere within range of the thief it can be downloaded. They then simply start vehicle and drive off.Looks like keyless may not be much advantage.
He should stick with rice burners.Greg Rice, the iron butt king, just got his second 1250gsa, after the first one was totalled in a 20mph lowside getoff. Somehow, someway, someone was able to get access to his security parking garage in Ft Lauderdale, somehow start the 2 week old GSA, and ride away. Greg has the keys and fobs, but no bike. He's pretty pissed off. Security cameras show the bike riding away. Looks like keyless may not be much advantage.
Apparently he prefers späetzle boilers....He should stick with rice burners.
Good advice. 2 of my 3 bikes are keyless. I see good and bad about that setup. Easily stolen would fall into the bad category. Need to keep the steering lock idea in mind even for short durations away from the bikes.The hard part is getting past a steering lock and with keyless ignition people get lazy about not using it.

My 2014 S10 was OK but what makes the GS worlds better than the S10 are NOT what you listed.................Three years ago I owned 1200GSA (now traded for a 1250GSA) and a Super Ten with electronic suspension (still have it....lucky man!)
A friend of mine was looking for a second bike and asked me what was the advantages of the BM over the Yam
I told him the BM had:-
Keyless Ignition
Dynamic Suspension (it adjusts itself...no need for comfort/standard/hard)
Hill Start Assist
Quickshifter
Sat Nav control from the handlebar if you buy a BMW Sat Nav
Cornering ABS
TFT Screen
etc
He then asked what were the advantages of the S10 over the GSA,
Simple I said, it has none of those!
He bought the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>?
Both are great bikes but have different strengths and weakness

Dodgy af. Got one on my Husky.Don't mean to be way off the topic, but Greg found how it was so easy to ride away on his 1250GSA without a key. There is something called an "antenna ring", from what I understand is easy to access, break off and replace. You can go to any BMW dealer and buy the ring with matching fob. Simply break the ring off a BMW, mount your own ring, and presto, you have key and ride away. Greg found broken plastic from the old ring where the motorcycle was parked.
In your opinion the GS is the better bike but I'm (and possibly most people on this forum) not sure I agree with youMy 2014 S10 was OK but what makes the GS worlds better than the S10 are NOT what you listed.................
Most folks on this forum have not ridden the 1250 GS. They are happy with what they have and great for them. Absolutely nothing wrong with that.In your opinion the GS is the better bike but I'm (and possibly most people on this forum) not sure I agree with you
If I had to chose between them it would be a very difficult choice but I'd probably sell the ????????????????

Me too. Not sure those wheels are tubeless though. It's a sticking point for me. There's a lot to like there for sure.Totally off topic and left field but I still want to test one of these and intend to test a Harley Ceylon / Pan America

It’s hard to believe it’s been three years since Moto Guzzi first teased its replacement for the Stelvio – the V85 TT.

Pretty simple. When you get a puncture, you can plug a tubeless tire, inflate it and ride on. No need to remove wheel, break bead and replace or patch a tube as is the case with tube type.Why do you prefer tubeless tyres?
