| I purchased my bike a 2011 bmw g650 gs with 7 miles on it. it is an enduro motorcycle and i was riding it on a straight away going approx 20-30 mph. next thing i knew i was down. there is nothing more to say than that since it all happened so fast. when i finally got a good look at my bike - the right hand fork failed or broke near the bottom. i believe that this fork failure is what caused my accident. after reading and searching more information on the internet i see this is not the first time it has been reported. please refer to # pe09026 - which is the earlier preliminary investigation conducted by nhtsa. | |||
