[ooo000HITMAN000ooo]

I had the tv on the history channel ultimate autos

They where doing the show on harley's then during then they said that during ww2 and ww1 how much better bmw bikes where than harleys because bmw bikes motors where mounted to that they had better cooling and also bmws had drive shafts. Plus bmw bikes where much faster handeld better

A BMW is better in my opinion. Not just for being biased, but because I don't understand how they can roll around making all that ruckus, and I get a ticket if my stereo is turned up to loud.

Yea I saw that show, personally I don't care for big brash American bikes, and the whole bandana wearing, bar fighting, rebel image that goes along with them.

Mostly I'm full of crap, but I have owned a couple BMW bikes. I love them! Great touring bikes, and the K1 I had was wicked fast (got popped by CHP radar doing 168). Owned a couple hogs and honda, but never a duc. I'd really like a duc.

You guys all know how I feel about BMW Bikes...I think they look awesome, real exotic, but they are only good as touring bikes...I think they lack heavily in the performance department.

K1 - sweet bike, and some of them are fairly rare, aren't they?

 

[Kirby]

Yeah, BMW doesn't make a bike that directly competes in the sport bike performance category. The closest they get is the K1200RS, which is considered Sport Touring, but a lot of people think it's the best in that category.

The current K1200 is about 135 hp, and about 75 - 100 lbs heavier than the hot sport bikes (GSX, etc.) Rumor is that the K series is being totally redesigned for 2004 to address some of these issues, but I doubt they will ever compete in the pure sport bike market.

this?

 

[wileycoyote]

Yeah, the K1 is pretty rare. I saw a few in Europe, but I had the only one I ever saw in the US. I'm curious about the new K bikes, but I'm not so much into big bikes anymore. I'd rather have a small nimble bike... Yanks just streched the lead by two more runs!

Hey Push... Doesn't arkadiy have a BMW bike?

 

[ooo000HITMAN000ooo]

Why is one light biger than the other?

Low and high beams?

 

[xLibelle]

thats not it but, close enough

 

[phobiaz]

i like the bmw bikes but they are too expensive.. i like the Suzuki Gixxer's

If I got a Sport Touring, it'd be a BMW. If I were over 60 years old, then I'd consider a Goldwing. Until then, my dream bike is still the MV Agusta F4 Serie Oro.
