Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Since new in june 2013, the motorcycle has pulled to the left at all speeds requiring constant counter-steering. Fatigue in the right arm and shoulder is noticeable and a moment of inattention on a ride would lead to the motorcycle swerving into oncoming traffic. This is a tremendous safety hazard. The Bmw dealer considers this to be normal.”
