    I wonder if it'd have been a different story if the motor was totally on point.

    I put the full termi system on mine along with the map for the ecu it comes with. I am plenty happy with the bike.

    . They should've used a sorted bike in the test.
    Along those lines though, it takes another few grand to get the Ducati proper, so now we're up closer/over 5k in price difference.
    If bmw had fitted the xr with a proper twin, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

    BMW doesn't make a "proper" twin.

    I know. But IF they did...
    And I mean, they could even toss in a fire breathing 1000cc ptwin and I'd be ok with it. As long as it was good.

    The study calculated "The mean annual mileage is around 3,800 among all motorcycles included in this analysis. How many BMW owners do you know who only ride 3,800 miles?
