Grant,
Why do you say that airhead BMW don't like low revs? What breaks and why?
My R75/5 rarely gets above 4500, but often down to 2000, as I cruise through town in top gear at 50 km/h. The engine has done over 100000km without any bottom end work. The barrels got replaced, because it was burning a little oil and I had spare ones lying around. however, if it gets thrashed it throws oil fumes out of the exhaust and the rear of the bike gets covered in oil spots.
My girl friend has two R100 and rides them similarly. Both 100000km. The people who I have met here in Europe who have exploded engines thrashed the bikes. Courier riders come to mind.
