One of the most beautiful bikes there is if not the best. Top 3 for me definitely. Just a pity it's an unreliable brand. 40% failure rate. I can't pay that amount of money for a 40% failure rate. If you research the NET, If something goes wrong, it might take you up to 10 months to get repaired under warranty, as BMW will do their best to BAIL out of it. Not a trusted brand whatsoever. a Limited Factory warranty is an excuse for any manufacturer to bail out of their responsibility. I grew up when we had Guarantees. No questions asked. Bikes got fix, but then again, I only had Yamaha. Never needed to fix anything over a span of 43 years and 5 Yami's. You want reliability, buy Japanese. PERIOD!!!
