2007 BMW F800ST...The worst bike in the history of motorcycles (no, really. It was).
After 14,xxx miles, 3 months out of warranty...
Piston slap
Wheel bearing failure in the open swingarm
Perpetually unresolved stalling issues and dead batteries
Ignition switch failures
Tail light bulb sockets corroding
Result: "We'll supply the parts if you pay for the labor" (for a complete engine & swingarm rebuild on a relatively new bike)
Could there have been ANY trial testing period for those bikes? I'm doubting it, but it was the last dime I'll ever spend on a BMW product. Their arrogant, conceited, and condescending customer service and dealer network is almost criminal in nature.
