I heard that the 'Wing comes with airconditioning, stereo and cruise control as well, if that's your thing.
In Robert Pirsig's 1976 book
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
he remarks that the BMW bike of that time are among the most reliable of the machines then around. Perfect for the non DIY types who enjoy riding but don't dare want to work on their own machine
There was a goodriff where he describes fashioning a shim for loose handlebars from a beer canm, but doesn't dare tell the BMW riders about it, because they'd be horrified it wasn't original BMW parts. "Tell them it's especially from Baron von Krupp's personal shim stock, the best original Bavarian stuff, the real thing!"
