Honestly, I don't know where this idea comes from about a bike not being much to maintain...
- insurance
- registration
- inspection
- tires, lots of tires, and bike tires are very costly
- lots of fluid changes
- all sorts of maintenance stuff

Fixed!
I'm gonna make you go back a page to see it though!

I doubt I'd be able to ride one for any longer than 30 minutes though
Besides it may be too much too handle for me. Remember the RD350 was the largest displacement motorcycle I ever owned. Also experienced with Royal Enfield Bullet 350 & 500's. I once test drove a V-Max and also got to ride my BILs VFR. Scary

^ Hey! BMW, how about a special edition re-production of the 2002tii or the E30 M3, instead of kool-aid

If you were one of the 30 Bimmerphiles to snag a 2011 Frozen Gray M3 Coupe last month, expect to fill out another round of paperwork before you take delivery of your new matte gray baby.
BMW is apparently requiring all owners to sign a "maintenance agreement" that insists the M3 is never polished or waxed, ran through an automatic car wash or even strongly rubbed. Additionally, BMW politely asks that you immediately remove bugs, bird droppings, tree sap and fuel spills with a soft sponge, and naturally, dealers are more than willing to sell you appropriate products for maintaining the matte finish.
According to enthusiast site Bimmerfest, BMW explicitly states the M3's warranty won't cover any damage due to owner neglect and it notes that all exterior repairs must be performed by a BMW-authorized shop. What's more, if you don't sign the agreement, no Frozen Grey M3 for you. That's a lot of disclaimers. All of which could be easily solved for less if you simply went down to your local custom vinyl shop and wrapped your (decidedly less expensive) standard M3 in a 3M coating.
