[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1462036, member: 19880"] I own a BMW (2017 F700GS) - bought a year ago for some dirt road riding/camping etc. It has been OK so far but due to dealer network alone I wouldn't have it as my only bike. There is one dealer within 300 miles and I would go to them only under duress (and they are 100 miles away). They are a multi-brand dealership and I have dealt with them for Yamaha stuff - not impressed. This particular bike is fairly easy to work on and I have a service manual (not available for newer BMWs). Parts by mail order, as needed. Newer BMWs are heavily inundated with complex electronic "stuff" which makes it difficult or impossible for a home mechanic to deal with. These parts are stupid expensive as well. [/QUOTE]
