Ok, I just bought my first BMW and want to know if the investment into a GS 911 is worth the $400???
I have been looking at different service You Tube and other videos and that subject has come up. TIA!!!

Yes, a GS 911 was one of the first things I bought for diagnostics and resetting the service light. There are cheaper alternatives out there now though.

Unless you plan to have all your maintenance done by a BMW shop, you need one or a suitable knockoff.

It depends what you are going to do with it!
If you're just going to do a service light them look at cheaper alternatives
If you want to be able to read and clear error codes and more then get the gs-911

The GS911 is an excellent tool, compared to buying and running a BMW I think it’s good value!

Make sure that you get the right model for your bike. I'm getting this one for my K26 R1200RT-P: HEX ezCAN for BMW R1200. It's quite a bit less expensive than $400.
