    I have had four BMW’s, two K bikes, two twin’s. My 07 G/S is the best bike I have owned. I’ve done my own maintenance all these years. This bike runs as good as the day I bought it. Twins are so EASY to maintain yourself it makes them cheap to keep. Parts cost is not as bad as most think. Never had the final drive issues these bikes are known for. Just change the oil every 12,000 miles. My 07 has 65,000 trouble free miles………
    Both of my K bikes were solid, dead nuts reliable. Both collected almost 100,000 trouble free miles. The other twin (R65) was traded in because of lack of power and lackluster breaking performance. It always ran like a top. It was running perfect when I traded it in on my K100 rsa.

      Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s fantastic to hear about your positive history with BMW bikes, especially the reliability and ease of maintenance you’ve had with your twins and K bikes. It’s stories like yours that highlight how well these motorcycles can perform when properly cared for. Your perspective on parts cost and final drive maintenance is insightful and may help others considering a BMW. Sounds like you’ve built a lot of great memories with those bikes-65,000+ trouble-free miles is truly impressive! 😊

      Very first thing I HAD to do on ALL THREE was change the windscreen
      The second thing I had to change was the suspension
      Both suck RIGHT out the starting gate!!
      $32k for a brand new bike equipped with the shittiest wind protection known to touring is absurd!!

I suspect you googled up negative information on these models and then ran the output through chat-GPT for the AI narration. I doubt you've ever even driven a motorcycle much less know anything in particular about these models showcased in your disposable video.

    Kawasaki W800 ? All of the defects make it a true retro. It wasn't easy back then. Some unreliability was the name of the game. I specialized in relieving guys of their "Troublesome" British bikes for pennies on the dollar. Most of the time they were sidelined for very minor problems that I could fix in a short amount of time.

I still used my bike, a Sportster, for an every day 100 mile a day commute. A British bike would have never held up, except for maybe a Vincent. The Sportster handled 35,000 miles in my last 2 years on the job without a peep, and at a minimal cost. I went from high tech BMWs to the low tech Sportster for my last 2 years.
