Watch those servo brakes..thats why I gave up BMW's for the Tiger after 20 yearson the German bikes. I have had servo failure on both my 2002 RT and my 2004 KGT. Not common, but BMW issued a recall for the servo's and is designing a new brake system for late 07.

Wait till you have to get the brake system serviced....your in for a hefty bill. I'd wait for a while before I'd compare the cost of maintaining your BMW. My dealer sells both and talking with the service manager and the mechs...the Triumphs are less expensive to maintain. Another tip for the shaft drive....change your final drive fluid with EACH oil change. This will extend the life of your final drive. They tend to start to fail around the 30k mile mark.
