BMW Other description

I am going to be honest here, I am only selling this bike because we need more room in the garage. This is the same Bike model that Nate Kerns made Famous. I personally love this bike for many reasons. 1st. Its a BMW... It is Bulletproof. The longevity of the R1200 motor is practically legendary. 2nd looks, Ok, its not a Ducati, but look at the bikes overall styling. I had to drive 2 hours to pick this up. and as I drove home with it on the trailer, It staring at me, it really stared to grow on me. The rear swingarm and wheel is my favorite part. Next handling, It is a heavy bike, but it doesn't handle that way. I keep up with my friends on Ducati Superbikes all day with this baby.. In the corners in the mountains, Im usually faster. The bike is very well balanced. And it is comfortable as well. 1 more thing i have on my friends.. I can go all day and they are complaining about how they need to "stretch." It is a great "2-up" (good for a passenger) bike as well I have only mildly modified this bike. A full Remus Titanium Exhaust (with stainless Headers), An MWR High Efficiency Airfilter (if you have not seen these and already own a R1200 bike, you need one!), R&G racing, Swingarm protector, Axle Protector, and Carbon Fiber-Kevlar Cylinder Head Protectors. I also swapped out the clutch with a C2 Slipper Clutch. (if you are not familiar with a slipper or "anti-hopping" Clutch what they do is keep your rear wheel planted when you shift at high RPM.. no Hopping means you will keep traction, Making you safer, and this makes you faster). The Bike Does not have ANTILOCKING BRAKES (adds about 2-three pounds and it is a race bike after all) or warmed handlebar grips (do you really need them?) and yes, no Ohlins either, but seriously, the Sachs is just as good. The only real detractor is it does have the 5.5 in wide rear wheel which means you cannot run the wider 190 rear tire (need the 6.0 rear), but honestly the maneuverability of the 180 is good enough that its not a problem in my book! This is a great bike and it will be an absolute blast for a future lucky guy (or gal)! It will leave a hole in my garage, but its ok, maybe we can finally park a car in there... Title is in hand so no waiting on that either

New car firm shows interest in bikes too

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

NORMALLY we wouldn’t get terribly excited about an electric moped but this as-yet-unreleased design comes from a new firm that’s already making waves in the car industry. Qoros might not be a name you’re familiar with. The firm has yet to start selling cars in Europe, although that will change soon.

2010 BMW S1000RR – First Ride

Fri, 20 Nov 2009

UPDATE:  Full Review now on Motorcycle.com (with video) We just spent the day ripping it up around the fabulous Portimao race circuit in Portugal on BMW’s new S1000RR supersport literbike, and it’s set to blow away perceptions of what a BMW motorcycle is. With 193 crankshaft horsepower and a claimed dry weight of 404 pounds, BMW says the S1000RR has the best power-to-weight ratio of any production bike. And, by the way the S1000 lofts its front wheel onto Portimao’s front straight at 150 mph, we’re becoming believers!
