My experience is that very little in the way of parts is "on hand" at dealers or even in the country. Just about everything is shipped from Germany, if they have it. I suppose with the short shelf life of some models, it's to be expected. 2006-2007 for the R12S, 2005-2007 for the R12ST (I think), makes part stocking and/or re-supply a little tenuous. My friend who had a relatively minor tumble on his Ducati ST3, plastic, rear brake lever, front brake lever, virtually everything had to shipped from Bologna-the dealer had zero on hand and the distributor had zero on hand. I would imagine R1100/1150/1200GS parts are somewhat more available with their lion share of the volume.
