Had one from new. Not that cheap by the time a few factory essentials had been fitted. Surprisingly light and nimble on the move with a brisk turn of speed. Seat even after some extensive custom work got uncomfortable after too short a time. Never got used to the over complicated turn switches. Self cancel stayed on for far too long which meant you were always going for the 3rd. button to cancel. Stupid. Electronics seemed to be constantly needing an update, and a computer glitch caused the bike to stall and dump me on my ear in a petrol station. I can do that all by myself without any help. Kept it for 2 years but never really got to like the bike. Final straw came when mine was being serviced and I was given an identical loaner with a higher mileage on it. It made mine feel and sound like a bag of nails. The dealer made the usual excuses but I knew then it had to go. No tears were shed for my first and probably last modern BMW.
