I think this may be wishful thinking.  My '96 R1100RSL required a clutch and 
head gasket replacement at 9K and at 41K the final drive, serviced per the 
book and on a bike that is always lightly loaded and not abused, failed.

My '97 Moto Guzzi 1100 Sporti  at 18K has so far required gas, uses less oil 
than the RS, and has needed two sets of spark plugs and nothing repaired, only 
serviced.  At this point it has the edge in workmanship and reliability.
