This Weeks Snippet from MCN!

Postby BMWBob » Wed Jan 18, 2006 8:28 pm

I quote:

"BMW is developing the sportiest machine it has ever built. The bike, based on the new R1200S, is set to be a high-spec, high-cost version, with around 135bhp and a limited production run of about 300. I've heard the bike will be used in a new Boxer Cup race series in the vein of last year's MotoGP-supporting PowerCup series, in which competitors rode K1200Rs."

Regards Bob.

sounds very,very expensive. Be very interested to see how they get the hp and whether it's at the expense of real rideability.

It's not how fast you ride, it's how you ride fast.
Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear
