I have been riding BMW's for 42 years and have never been left on the road by one. The
only bike I ever had to load on a wrecker was a 1991 ST1100. Go figure.
This one went to Prudhoe Bay and Inuvik and motored on home...
This one has taken me from Georgia to Maine to Georgia every fall...
This one hasn't missed it's first beat yet...
Nope, this one didn't break either...
I sold this 43 year old baby a few month ago. It is touring the western half of the continent
with it's new owner at the moment...
I am selling several of these and returning to ST1100's again after 21 years. Not because I
am disappointed with BMW's but because I enjoyed my last ST from 1991 to 1998 and
wanted to give it another go. I'll put the money from the BMW sales into a Miata for the wife
and I to putz around in, as she is unable to ride with me any more on the bikes.
One can enjoy the ST's (I certainly enjoy mine) without the need to discredit anyone else's
choice. I have absolutely enjoyed my BMW's
and my ST's. I'd hate to think that I missed
out on the beemers because somebody knew somebody who heard on the internet that
somebody had a problem. I only have 42 years and 300K miles with eight BMW's, but I am
still waiting for my first serious problem. Peace. Out.
