Wayne,

I have an 04 GS1150. BMWs are great bikes for what they do. They have a personality, just like our cars and set themselves apart from the Japanese masses. Service intervals are every 6,000 miles which is very excessive if you pile on the miles. Your bike will be in the shop often. Its the only down-side I can think of. Engines vibrate through handlebars and cause hand fatigue if the throttle bodies are not synced properly. A good dealer can take care of it. Good luck.
