I'm really not trying to bash them. Just listing problems and their unwillingness to take responsibility or their tactic to deny deny deny and delay delay delay. Everything I am relating either happened to me, or a member of my local club. I even recall more members having other QC issues on brand new bikes but am not mentioning all of them. As you even said, its all well known. I don't know just when they went from being known as makers of quirky but ultra reliable machines, to it going downhill to become a crap shoot if you get a bulletproof one, or one that's a garage queen, always waiting for parts from the Fatherland. Yes, I agree there are thousands of happy BMW owners. And many others who switched to Honda, Triumph and Yamaha.
