Ask youself why you want it. Do you want a high tech, powerful bike made to modern styles and standards? If the answer is yes the BM should be on your list of things to look at. Do you want a bike that never breaks down? If that's your reasoning you need get inventing because no one makes that bike yet, certainly not the marketing department in Munich and their worshippers on the web.

1997 R1100R 1997-1999 had three front shocks in three months plus an electrical meltdown when new. Sorted at three months.
1999 F650 1999-2004 Died in the desert.
1996 R1100R 2002-2005 Electrical **** galore
1984 K100 2010- 23000 miles on the clock of which only 450 are mine. Everything works so far.
