[QUOTE="RedRiderMN, post: 1451081, member: 92979"] I owned 3 BMWs ('72 R75/5, '83 R80RT, and a '97 K1100LT) and all three developed leaky rear main seals. They all had a single plate dry clutch and the rear main seal was a weak point in their design. I paid a local independent BMW repair shop around a $1000 / year maintaining them. Two of my riding buddies both owned BMWs but had switched to FJRs and kept telling me how much they loved them. Plus, they never seemed to have much in the way of repairs. When I found a 2014 beautiful Red FJR for sale, I snatched it up and dumped my K-Bike for a severe loss. I will NEVER own another BMW. YMMV [/QUOTE]
