I had an 05 LT-it's a great tourer especially 2=up. As always if you are a good wrench cost of ownership is less,but if you follow the schedule at a dealership its quite expensive, the 12000 is well over a grand w/valve check.
The bike itself is a joy to ride, creature comforts galore, one caveat though-its weight is evident around walking speed and that weight is on top. The ride at speed belies its 900 lbs amazingly.
I got rid of mine after 3 year warranty expired on the fear of the final drive failures that affected many forum members and BMW's non-action.
The C-14 is a lot more fun to ride overall although I miss things like cruise control,heated seats & grips, kick butt stereo,hydro-electric centerstand...........................and so on.
