w2ge Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Do you have a link? Did a search on eBay..NADA. de W2GE Link to comment
12R12RT Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Here's the current e-Bay offering. It sure seems odd that it is only offered from the UK and that Haynes do not have this manual on their website. T Link to comment
w2ge Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Thanks for link.. I agree, it seems that the manual is British oriented.. listing describes MOT test checks? Link to comment
Firenailer Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I looked and found nothing for the U.S. Perhaps it's just a matter of time. I'd get one when they become available! Link to comment
garr2 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Nippy Normans (UK based) is offering Haynes camhead manual. See here Link to comment
12R12RT Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 OK, that's getting a bit more valid. I wonder, how different can the UK version be? They drive on the wrong side of the road but they do speak a sort of English, I understand. They do use that funny money though.... Perhaps it is time to embrace the global market place. After all, I just ordered something from Denmark, so why not England? Tom Link to comment
12R12RT Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Non-answer from Haynes: "Hi Haynes Folks- Nippy Norman's, in the UK, is selling a Haynes manual for the 2010-2013 BMW R1200 series motorcycles. This manual would be the follow-on to your current manual http://www.haynes.com/products/productID/574. Here is the Nippy site: http://www.nippynormans.com/products/books/item/haynes-manual-r1200gsadventure1200r1200rt-10-on-hay-4925. I have also seen this for sale on E-Bay from the UK. Is this manual meant to be a UK-only version? When might this manual be available for the US? Thanks and Regards, Tom Schmitz ------------------------------- Dear Tom, Thank you for your inquiry. The manual we have will cover different models of the R1200. A list of covered models is available on our UK website at www.haynes.co.uk For specific questions about the manual, please call us directly at 1-800-442-9637 during business hours (PST) and ask for the technical research department. One of our representatives will be glad to provide you with some additional information. We find that we can be of best assistance to our customers via telephone, and we do not charge for this service. Again, thank you for your interest in Haynes automotive/motorcycle manuals!" I called. Heavy call volume, no rep available, left a message. Did a search on the ISBN and got an Amazon reference which led me to this which leads me to believe it may be available on December 15th. Signed up for notification... Link to comment
w2ge Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I just received that manual-Haynes 10-12 DOHC (bought it from Amazon, paid $32 or so, w/ free shipping) British in it's lingo ("spanners") yet, everything is also given in US (as well as UK) measurements. Nice! I had used the supplied AMAZON link from 12R12RT from above.. just checked on it again and it is listed for something like $79 dollars??? I may have been lucky! ;-) Link to comment
12R12RT Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I got mine, too, and for the same price. It became available much earlier than anticipated, and shipped much sooner than they said it would. I'm happy. Don't know why the price shot up. I ordered mine through Amazon and the vendor was the_book_depository. Tom Link to comment
w2ge Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Same here Tom, THANK YOU for the link. Glad I ordered it when I did! Link to comment
Will Stagg Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 So I ordered one from Nippy Norman. around $30, took a weee bit to get here but by golly it did get here and it was even hardbound! No as comprehensive as the Factory DVD but doesn't require a PC to operate and I can keep data written in it. Thanks for the link to Nippy. Link to comment
Dave_in_TX Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Amazon currently shows the manual to be out of print. I tried ordering from Nippy Normans but couldn't get it to accept my phone number (a required field) no matter how I formatted it. I finally ended up ordering it from the Haynes UK site.

mrsoup Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I ordered mine with a 'Buy it Now' option on E-bay on the 27th and I recieved notice the 28th that it has shipped. Paid $39.12 w/shipping from the UK to the USA. There are currently 2 listings for the new 2010-2012 Haynes. If you read the fine print they both ship from the same address (J. Stewart). A few pennies difference in the pricing and are listed as seperate sellers, no idea why. Link to comment

Same happened to me. Gave up after 3 attempts. Link to comment
BrianM Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I purchased a copy from the eBay listing. Arrived about a week later. Link to comment
6speedTi Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 There is a repair manual on ebay. It says it covers up to 2012. Searching other dvd manuals on Ebay this one does cover 2010 to 2012 Cam heads. The others specifically say they do not. About the same price as the hardcopy book. http://www.ebay.com/itm/221182165793?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Link to comment
