The W is definitely not one of these bikes.
The problems I discribed are more or less cosmetical ones. You can live with and stop them with your taking care of the bike and using the right 'medicine'.
The only thing I really had to exchange was the silencer of the right exhaust pipe. It get lost while riding, rust had loosened his fixing points. I demounted the left one afterwards and put some clipable ones inside the pipes bought from a W-forum member, who constructed his own versions. I don't like the sound without any, doesn't sound 'healthy' and can mutate into a real problem with the TÜV. Some owners pull the intact ones out, they think and belief the opposite. It's is easily audible that this kind of altered sound is'nt the normal one. The rebuild silencers I now use are somewhere in between, not too calm, not too loud and with a little bass emphazising. The TÜV engineer didn't mind and mention them.
