Have to agree on the clutch. There's 'character' and there's 'sounds like it's about to expire'. Too close to the latter.
[Cue howls of protest from the Ducatisti...]

I'm sure the modern ones have wet a clutch?

not sure there seems to be regular rattly ducatis up at the horseshoe on weekends they look pretty but sound less Termignoni and more terminal

Don't really think Harley Davidson are worried about BMW stealing sales from them
They only ever made one cruiser (R1200C), which lasted a short while but was soon ditched.
Hat's off to BMW for giving it a go though.
Oh, and I own one.
