The best bike I ever had was a BMW R1150RT. it fit like a glove. I thought while going through Ohio it might be the last bike I would ever have because it felt so good. Until I pulled into the Air Force museum in Dayton Oh. And saw he puddle pn the ground. Final drive failure. From the people who pioneered shaft drive bikes. Did you know that the closest dealer to Dayton Ohio was in Indianapolis Indiana? That's 600.00 dollars in tow from Dayton. A cash repair of a problem that BMW wouldn't admit it had. From the people who mastered shaft drive 90+ years ago.
There is nothing like starting my F6B and hearing that six cylinder whine and knowing what true engineerIng sounds like.
