Has anybody heard anything about changes for '08? I'm waiting to buy one because I don't want to buy now and discover that the new ones have something I'd wanted. Any scuttlebutt is appreciated. Thanks.

Well, the New-And-Improved-Never-Needs-Maintenance Final Drives are dropping like flies in the IBR this year...........
(and in '05 it was the alternator belts - I didn't even know BMWs HAD alternator belts 'til then!)

I can see having some engine quirks these days with a new design, but how could you eff-up a shaft drive? I mean they have been making them for 50 years or so? I can't figure out how you can make a simple ring and pinion final drive fail. It boggles the mind!

Maybe BMW's bike division is trying to be as maintenance free as their car division.

It's called personality, you people with reliable bikes wouldn't understand.

In that case my Magna has personality in spades!

Is 'personality' what they call standing on the side of the road screaming your head off at a broken-down motorcycle? I thought it was called 'insanity'.
