Hard no on 2000+ BMWs, they are mortgages.
NC700s last forever, have built in storage. It’s an automotive engine derived from a Honda Fit, valve clearance intervals of 50,000 miles.

NC7s a good pick. But don’t blur all 2k+ beemers into the same group. I had a 2004 GS for a good few year - my first proper bike. Not as solid as the CB or NCs that’s true, but that big solid boxer engine is lovely and a superb motorway cruiser. The 04’s were the last of the oilheads, widely considered the most reliable engines, But even then, BMW were over-complicating shit, and it’s much worse now.
