BMW Rider
I don't think anybody has said that ownership of a high priced piece of machinery would be cheap. The seller of high end equipment put themselves out there for greater scrutiny. BMW has not performed well. Before I purchased my bike I asked around a bit and got favorable beviews. I must have talked to some that have not had to deal with BMW and a defective machine. The company should be embarrased with about some of the products it sells and how they deal with their customers problems. I love the wy my bike rides but I have not been done right. If I had read this websight before purchasing I would have passed on this brand.
Look, problems are nothing more than a bump in the road. People tend to get very uptight on these things as I guess they expect perfection for their $20k or more outlay. That simply isn't the way the world works. NASA spends millions and millions (billions?) on space vehicles yet they are unable to guarantee with certainty that it will even clear the launchpad much less return from space. Your $20k becomes meaningless. I know you want to love your motorcycle and you want to think it's the best thing since sliced bread but if you ever worked in a car or motorcycle dealership you would realize how many issues can occur. It's just the way it is.
Get the bike repaired and maybe repaired again. At some point almost guaranteed you will realize the issues have gone away and you can truly love the bike for what it has to offer. Motorcycles are simply not important enough to ruin your life. I ride pretty much 7 days a week and I love motorcycling and I love BMW's in particular. If there's no snow or ice on the road I'm riding. Don't care about rain and don't care about cold, I'm riding. Don't let the small stuff take control of your life.
