lol..I've always been a fan of BMW cars and have owned several but the bikes have always left me a bit cold although I know being BMW's they are great ergonomically comfortable and generally reliable etc etc, hmm but not to mention the designers might have been on really wicked drugs doing the design work on some of them
, I know the riders swear black and blue about their famed reliability (a bit like Guzzi Owners) but I too have heard so many owners complain about..hmm..no mention the bike had this big issue or that one and it was taken as an understandable given.
I've listened too these things and thought that hey none of my Kawasakis have done that or even been remotely an issue, my 1st ZZR1100 chalked up 110,000k's with out drama until it was written off, my A5 Z1300 120,000k's and only $220 spent on spares, mainly clutch cables and my used and abused 94 ZZR1100 chalked up 140,000k.s until I blew it up doing a clutch up wheelstand in 3rd and my ex's GT750 ran up 85,000k's trouble free.
I suppose reliability is a subjective thing just like art is and what you expect reliability to be, Im not knocking Beemers but on the same token are they really what they are cracked up to be especially for the price?? I've looked at them many times and thought about them and the end result was always a new Kwakka..
