User 505197 is correct, BMW was an innovator. They invented valve covers that gouge the #%#$% out of your shins as well as a battery that can't be removed unless you remove the air cleaner or unbolt the rear frame section. BMW invented the spring loaded side stand that pops up when your bike is accidently bumped and so your bike falls over. BMW invented a swing arm frame that was designed to look like their old plunger frame and the ugliest forks known to man...yes earls forks!

ok budddy, what motorcycle did "zee germans" build in that era that would even hold up to one of these classics?. You clearly do not know enough about bikes to comment fool, B.M.W. are building some quality bikes a.t.m but have only really come through in the last 5-6 years. Get some some sence before commenting retard!
@agrenfell1 BMW has been setting the standards for motorcycle design since the day they were first produced. Harley can't hold a candle to BMW in any way shape or form except for the sound of the exhaust, which is beautiful. When it came to riding one for decades with no problem you couldn't do it on any fucking bike in the world but BMW. BMW was the first production bike with telescopic forks, the list of firsts and quality just goes on and on, get a fucking clue, noise isn't everything
Great bike with a legendary history. We have the exact same one for sale but with a twist: it's all made of wood. Please take a minute to look at the video I posted and tell me what you think about it ! Thanx !

It's weird to see a Japanese guy riding an American made bike that was built in the same year that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.

Because the American and Chinese will destroy it, the Japanese should defend a wonderful industrial commodity with a legend history.
