BMW cars are special, but not that unique. BMW motorcycles are very special and very unique, no other brand of German bikes and almost no other shaft drive sporting bikes, save for Moto Guzzi.
If you're a gearhead check out how Guzzi dodges the BMW patent for the double jointed shaft swing arm. BMW's system called the Paralever has a second u-joint in the swing arm and the torque reaction arm that is the Paralever. Guzzi doesn't have a second joint in the swing arm, but rather floats the rear end gears and runs a support out the top of the swing arm to hook to their paralever/torque reaction arm.
Now all they need is a Telelever anti-dive front end, and a little more power......
