Consumer Description

I PURCHASED MY K1200LT LAST MONDAY (24 JULY 2006) FROM A RESIDENT IN OHIO. DROVE THE BIKE HOME TO GEORGIA. I FELT A SLIGHT VIBRATION OVER THE LAST 100 MILES OR SO. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE ROAD. T HE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE BIKE OUT, VIBRATION AND A RUBBING SOUND WAS COMING FROM THE REAR END. WHEN I GOT THE BIKE HOME I NOTICE OIL LEAKING FROM WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE REAR BRAKE. TOOK BIKE TO BMW THEY SAID IT WAS FINAL DRIVE FAILURE. BIKE IS STILL IN THE SHOP. I ONLY OWNED THE BIKE FOR TWO DAYS AND ALREADY A MAJOR PROBLEM. *JB
