Did you forget the big recall from Honda and their GL1800? I got rid of mine it cuz the idiots put the radiator fans the wrong direction and I got tired of it overheating. Then they had all the frames that had to be welded all over again, did you call them and ask them why they didn't build it right the first time so they wouldn't have to have a recall?But if you make a new bike and get the details right before you release it, you get new that works. It's not only BMW that has recalls, but BMW seems to have a very high recall rate with respect to total bikes sold. That has soured some of my BMW buddies to the marque. One just bought a Honda!
Honda isn't perfect, neither is BMW, nor is Harley.
