YES all bikes are fun BUT a friend just bought a used BMW and its a mess and he calls me for help he just paid $9000 for this 1974 restored R90S and hes having problems already and its only been a week I told him to call a dealer and get a price to repair the thing I was dealing with those things when they where new and they where shearing flywheels off the crankshafts they would try to trade those things in for the new 900cc Z1Kawasaki so I had to be careful not to get one of those Lemons so I try to warn prospective buyers if I get the chance MY friend with the new BMW 1000 RR has so many problems its a shameI own 1 and I bought an extended warranty and have a 2nd bike should 1 or the other go down. It just seems to me all forums have horrer stories and when I buy a bike I look at the companys way of handling warranty claims and Triumph and BMW are both good examples of co's that back their product. The way I like to ride i'm usually surprised that I get home with bike and/or license intact. Bikes are easy on the eyes most bikes anyhow and finding another rider that puts the ride before the machine is always a treat. I hang around this forum and there's another s1kr forum where like here its about the bike but also about enjoying bikes in general and it don't matter what you ride as long as you're having a good time.
