I seriously considered this bike, but it's nearly twice as much as the CB1100 (which someone already mentioned)
What gave me pause was the internet, I read many stories that these bikes were prone to burning oil, and maintenance (re: valve adjustments) was complicated and expensive, plus the rear shaft seal was prone to letting water in. What sealed the deal to not get one was a multi-brand dealer salesman telling me they had more trouble with BMW than any other make.
I wish you the best, because the sound and power of the bike is indeed alluring to me.
