I´ve bought this bike in May 2001. It has 79000 miles on it. It hums along just great. I like the roarty sound of the twin. Reminds me of a Norton Commando sound. The new Beamers are pretty quiet with all the catalitic convertors and the like. The bike itself is in pretty good condition. It was owned by a gal. She said she just rode it around town. The bike, I was told sat for five years. When I first got it and was looking it over I found mice had made a nest in the air box.Access made available through the scoop at top of engine. Proud to own. Good part availability. Quality does last.
