True that. Javier has a friend with one of their enduro type bikes, it took him 3 hours and a huge mess in the garage just to change the oil himself. His had two separate oil tanks, it required removal of the airbox and what little fairings it has, along with a transfer pump. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

The consensus is they are engineered very well, and have disgustingly expensive parts and or service. And they do break down. Having BMW repair them is insane. $500 of an oil change to get an idea. I love my ST1300 but it does not have all the bells and whistles of BMW. I think it is over engineered for what the average rider wants to spend. Before you buy that BMW I suggest you go price an air filter and brake pads.
