Graham, I'm with you in wishing that BMW (or someone) would come up with a light, simple, powerful (enough) bike in the vein of the R80/GS. What's not to like about a 400lb, 50hp (ok make the new one 60, that'd be alright) bike that's reliable and easy to work on. I did over 100,000 miles on mine, and while it did have some issues, a lot of those could be fixed with better designs, and modern materials and manufacturing (worn rocker gear, and gearboxes, for example). Add FI and some other modern tweaks, while keeping it simple, how hard could that be?
