Shafts suck.... Beemer shafts REALLY suck.
And it's not just the shaft that is a headache, it's all the extra gubbins that goes with them..
Try changing your final drive bearing in a workshop in Mongolia or finding someone who can swap out your RWD oil seal in Mexico when it inevitably starts leaking..
They're great for long distance, non-maintenance riding but out in the wilds, simple is ALWAYS better.
Chain and sprockets are simple, easy, and everyone understands them...
