You wus robbed !
500 quid ! I used to dream of having a 500 quid bike !
This year I rode an old Yamaha to Nelson BC AND rode back .Total km = 3500 give or take . Cost of bike , swapped a Leatherman [ $80 ] for 2 bikes and bought another for $100 .Gave one bike to my son ,so $100 + $80 divide by 3 = $60 per bike .took engine out of one bike to put in other [ for no other reason than one had a lot of instant gasket on it ] so therefore resulting bike cost of $120 . Pair of megaphones = $120 . Points $15 . Total purchased = $255 CDN Like your bike my alternator conked out . Refurbished tank and seat failed to arrive ,so I haven't included them in the cost .But I did brush paint the tank . Next year - Alaska ! Now if I could get a newspaper to publish my story I could recoup my expenses . " But if you tell that to the young folk of today , they wouldn't believe you !"

Not me, guv.
Just to clarify, Dodger, the article is about Kevin Ash, the regular motorcycling journalist for the Daily Telegraph in the UK. I have no affiliation. After the recent discussions on BMW reliability here, I thought it might be of interest to the BMW riders. :)
