Example complaints

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

“2003 Bmw r 1150 rt motorcycle pulls to the right, I feel this is a safety hazard if you do not keep pressure to the left on the handle bars it will lean itself to the right and run off the road. Also it has excessive tire wear. I spoke with Bmw and they said this is a characteristic of these bikes.”
