I have had a few BMW motorcycles, but my most recent one was plagued with transmission issues, as well as a finicky fuel delivery system that demanded frequent adjustments. It was a '94 R1100RS, and yes I know the modern bikes have fewer warranty problems, but the newer bikes are also significantly more expensive to service.

Zitat von Allan Redfox im Beitrag #3 It is tempting, I admit. When I sold Porsche cars in the 80s, 90s, I frequently traded cars with dealers on the west coast of the US, driving our car to them, and back with a vehicle we'd acquired for a customer. I actually enjoyed those trades, even the ones with 1000 miles of round trip mileage. The customers seldom complained as the warranty started when they took delivery. I've been looking at the 2019 bikes, too, even the "R" bikes. Hard to decide.

As the '19 will be a first year model, I would recommend the leftover '18. That electronic activator in the heads of the R1250RS worries me...
