I've been running Bridgestone T32s on my 07... and have Michelin road 5's on a '14

Welcome for a very wet(this week) Virginia.

Yea, BMW, nice riding bikes... until they break and the nearest repair shop is 3-4 hours away. Must by willing to wait on parts, and give up a kidney for the repair. My '07 FJR, regular maintenance and can be repaired anywhere.
