Just some random thoughts here.
if someone were to ask you, "what is the most reliable BMW" how would you reply?
i think about this having recently transitioned from Oilhead to Airhead, there are some marked differences. i knew this well because i'd come to an Oilhead from an Airehad, but i was young, naive and basically never touched anything on it. i received it crusty, kept it crusty and left it crusty. now that i'm actually digging into some of the major mechanical systems, i've come to realize why they have a good reputation as a tinkerers bike.
the Oilhead just ran, the same way, every day, every push of the starter.
the Airhead seems to idle differently if there's a few clouds in the sky or if you sit further back on the seat.
i appreciate the simplicity, but one has to have a much more intricate "feel" for their particular machine, something i'm slowly acquiring.
