I agree although i haven´t ridden other BMW´s. Have ridden this for a year now and found it great on all surfaces i´ve ridden on. Regarding prices of service etc, i was initially worried but after having a few services i can say that the cost of routine stuff is well within reason - besides that, the service that the people at BMW have given me has been secoond to none. The only thing is that the bike can be a bit heavy so seriously rough and tumble riding is a bit of a challenge but not impossible. I´d say get one if you´re planning an across continent ride...
