I've had a few BMWs over the years, and they are my preference. I don't know about the company but I do know about the dealers. I had a Triumph Tiger for a while, a terrific bike with an extraordinary sound, but in addition to being a bit cramped for two-up riding, the dealerships tend lean towards a younger, wilder crowd. I'm never going to be doing stuntz in some city parking lot wearing baggy jeans, sneakers, and a backwards baseball cap.
So when I bought my K1300S from Morton's in Fredericksburg, VA, imagine my astonishment when they called be a week after buying the bike to tell be BMW had just dropped the price, they had not yet put in my paperwork, and wanted to know if I would like to come in and sign a new purchase agreement for $1000 less. BMW NA--probably a good company. Their dealers are awesome and the spaces are just...comfortable and fellow customers are (usually) real grown-ups.
I do wish BMW was better at taking suggestions though...
