Iron Butt riders have proved this mile after mile. I believe that last year, on the last day before the end, the rider in the lead on his R1150RT dropped the transmission.

Can you tell that I have a Honda ST1300 and not a R1200RT or K1200GT? I would love to have the K1200GT, however, I would rather spend my money on tires and ride than on services.

BTW, the 1000km service on that BMW bike can cost upwards of $500 CAD. For an oil change and bolt check. At the 6000km service, it is over $1000 CAD and they want your bike for 2 days.

...and you thought the cars were pricey...
Now this I can agree with.
