Dammit I'd never live it down.

ok I'll admit it I was a roundel bashing ass.

f me running this thing snaps.


If that responds in forward momentum the way it revs I'm going to be in a real tough spot.

my god they might have finally got it right.

Wait. Wait. The thugs on here will tear it to shreds. Even if they did.

[Multiplicity]

It should with the new intake and exhaust design. Plus the 125 BHP is nice. I think the main reason it sounds like that is due to the wet clutch design. The big flywheel, clutch disc and pressure plate are gone and that will allow for quicker throttle response in itself. Adding 15 BHP won't hurt either.

I like my dry clutch oil cooled boxer

Yup, way way way (of the chart) more strikt, europe makes harleys sound like 50cc mopets.

[BigDave75]

Damn that sounds good, just think what the aftermarket goodies could do for that thing!

Jeexus I hope this tool doesn't start coming round here now.

Oh, so rich.

First, BMW actually is successful at WSBK, despite your predictions. Now this ignominy, a GS you might like.

Put some pepper on that crow, 'flug. It'll taste better.

I liked mine. In hindsight I blame my meltdown on Max's service managers advice to swap the block instead of fixing it. I never should have listened to him. From there my anti roundel mind knew no bounds (still does in some regards) and I admit I was a bit of an ass. Nobody fit the 1150GS like I did that bike fit me like a glove.

As far as them being successful at WSBK if they'd have done something on their own it might be meaningful but as they ran their mouths for years about their bikes being fast when they were 50mph slower than the bikes from japan and then went the if you can't beat them join them route. Time marches on and I'm thinking this waterhead or whatever they call it is a real gem and might finally be the upright seating street legal close your eye's you're on a big motocross bike without the pain and it even rips thing the world (or at least me) has been looking for. I could buy an awful lot of Nikon with what this will cost so it's a pipe dream but I'd still like to ride one.

I don't think so. That was the twin spark 1150, IMHO.

These will wind up being called wetheads or something. Those of us of a certain age probably recall "The wethead is dead" advertising from the early 70s.

I still have a can of The Dry Look if you'd like to borrow it.

I'm new here so I don't know flug but after reading his initial post I thought he may have had a stroke. After reading your responses I guess all is well with the man.

[Mr Head]

Well, it sounds fun, but then so did a few other things that years later cause me a good deal of discomfort.

I think my 1150 is my last BMW. I was pretty sure of it when I bought it 8 years ago and at the rate I'm not wearing it out these days along with the rate my employment options are diminishing KLR's look too expensive.

I'm just wondering what overly complex and expensive, dealer service only item they have added.
