I think the two bikes are in somewhat of a different class - there's a big difference between the two, big single vs twin, and that's a question only you can answer. The BMW is a better two up bike, the Yamaha better and lighter solo.
I'd have to say go for the Yamaha from your description - it's cheaper by far, therefore less painful a purchase, and it's value will be more appreciated. And cheaper to just sit when not using it, you won't feel so guilty. And finally, easier to sell. Oh yeah, and leaves some funds sitting safely in the bank to put towards the next choice after the Yamaha!
There will always be another one... Or as someone once asked, "Why do you have five bikes?" Answer - "Because I just sold one".
