You took the words right out of my mouth.
Known issues for this generation are the fuel sensor sender gauge and the throttle body linkage.
Both can be repaired by someone who has some degree of experience working with tools. I am in commercial sales but reasonably decent with my hands and would tackle the projects. The fuel sender needs software to be married to the CANBUS.
I purchased a maintenance app that is very widely regarded globally and a OBD2 reader to do the other maintenance myself. The CANBUS needs to be told you've changed the oil cuz BMW.
**** on these bikes just doesn't break. Valve adjustments, final drive gear oil and gear oil every 12k km which can be done in under 45 minutes each including beer breaks.
I have not experienced parts being offside expensive. The engine and gearbox have been improved and modified over decades and they just don't break that easily.
Every motorcycle is expensive. It's discretionary income and we are primed for the abuse.

I was really hoping to see you guys before the end of the season.
I’m really disappointed with whichever rain god you choose to believe in
If the weather is nice, we will go week by week. As @Relax said, if today falls through we can look at tomorrow as a back up.Sad face!

There is still a fair bit of the season left. Plus some of the best riding days in the fall!
And there is this, possible delayed winter:
Winter to wait on the sidelines as El Nino extends fall: The Weather Network outlook
It’s shaping up to be a mild fall across much of Canada, The Weather Network’s forecast suggests, with a potentially historic El Nino expected to prolong the season and delay winter’s arrival.
