[QUOTE="okmac, post: 187187, member: 2788"] TWN I think too much is made of BMW's having a rear drive problem. I'm sure it happens as I am sure it happens to other bikes also. My ridding buddy and I rode to Alaska and the Artic Circle in 98. He rides a 95 R100RT and I ride a 97 R1100RT and neither one of us had problem one. We both have over 100K on the bikes and never have had a problem with the rear drive. We were both wishing we had a GS with knobbies for the haul road as it was real muddy and all we had was street tires . I will not do that again without something with knobbie tires. Having said that, I am still waiting for my 07 FJR to come in and plan on putting plenty of miles on without spending so much at the dealers for maintenance. mac [/QUOTE]
