That sucks for the owner but I would need to know the rider and his/her style of riding (wring the guts out, extended wheelies etc) how well they take care of (Maintenance) to make a call as being an issue with BMW build quality or not.

If in fact BMW is declining covering under warranty solely to having an aftermarket exhaust that would be of concern but again could be more to this story than just that reason.

Impossible to say whether it was rider or bmw error. After all, fish blew up a 14 and they turned out ok...

Your claim is an opinion, but I do have a 14 with a strong motor! Ignorance plagues everyone but wasting money only apply to the wasteful!

Man those BMW's look like they'd be one hell of a ride. I don't want to buy one just give me two days to play on one and I'd be happy.

You are dealing with a overweight old man here bud that has the personality of a 3 year old. The sooner you start ignoring him the better your life will be.

If I had a stronger desire to get a BMW, I would get the Red, White, and Blue one! This is the first I've heard of engine failure.

I have heard of 3 so far them tossed rods and one that just locked up .. I wonder how many have been sold so far ? I have not seen one at the track yet or even on the street .. I did see one at a bike show that was red white and blue , very nice looking bike ..It was 16k so it must have been loaded with all the goodies ..

Dayum Lee, I guest they may have put more $ on electronics & not spread the RD on the whole package. These companies should know that their machines will be used as they market them
