Fantastically lovely? No. It's a good looking bike in an odd looking way, like many BMWs. I like to keep my bikes clean so spokes are not welcome in my house.
I have owned Hondas over the years - no problems ever, perfectly reliable. I have owned Yamahas over the years - never let me down, not once. Kawasakis too - generally reliable but brakes seem to need constant attention to stop them binding. BMWs - one (Rockster) and it let me down and was expensive to fix. So what am I supposed to think?
I have a good friend that has a new BMW every two or three years and they have given him a variety of problems, so I, for one, am not a fan.
is it clean enough?
