When are they going to imitate the reliability and durability of the old airhead G/S?

they can't as that would mean getting rid of can bus, the FD, ABS and the price would be less...maybe under 15,000 and BMW can't sell a big bike that cheap.

The good news is that you can still buy a G/S for the same or less than the cost of that body kit. Rarely does the real deal cost less than the imitation. Consider us fortunate.
