Yep Ric.
Although I don't personally like Beemers (always been a Harley man), they are built like a Tank! And very well engineered.
Also, the Russians build a bike (a copy of the Beemer) called a Ural, (also known as a Dnieper in Russia), and it is built just as strong! Only problem with the Ural is the finish is rubbish. Most are unpacked 'Brand New' from the factory crate with the paint peeling off and corrosion on the alloy parts. But on the other side, they are dirt cheap and you can flog them to death (but they won't die).
They also come with an interesting tool kit. In the supplied kit you get spare pistons, rings, gudgeons and clips, Valves and guides. You'll probably never need them, but they are there!
Oh, and Happy Birthday K75C
