One thing jumped out at me from the OP's opening post.
CARELESS MAINTENANCE...will NOT cut it! ANY failure of tires, brakes, running gear, engine that could cause failure at speed...can kill you! What would be a nuisance in a car, would be something that could put you down and maybe kill you on a cycle.
I think you're wise to stay away from the BMW at this point. Honda is a conservative company - conservative in terms of their engineering, which stresses durability over top performance. And UNLIKE BMW, Honda maintenance and parts are mostly affordable.
Just the warranty service for the BMW Boxer engine cost the upper end of three figures.
