quote:BMW will rule the earth soon both sales and performance. They are definitely proving a point Litre bike for 2010, and of course the inline V6 to be available in 2011
To the Harley dealer that elected to sell the BMW brand: very wise business decision right there.
To the japs: Aprilia and BMW are all over you in road racing and sport touring bikes!
I hope all the Harley Dealer mechanics get a quick 101 on how to work on a new
engine design. I have seen some real bad mistakes made on the V-Rod in H-D
dealers until they learned from mistakes and do overs.Big jump from working on
a V-twin engine, . Not being mean just being Real. I would wait a year or so
before buying a new BMW Sport Bike from a H-D dealer.

Not true at all, erroneous internet posting. Many Floridians enjoy the twisties of Daytona International Speedway, JenningsGP, and Homestead-Miami International for CCS events or tracks day.
And this Floridian does the mountains during the summer months anyway, its a moot point.

Meet me in Helen,Ga. & we'll see who goes off road first, Just be sure to wear a parachute! Been riding those roads for 40 years & losing squids the whole time.
Besides that's why I own a 14, for the entertainment value on flat land. It's certainly not for it's handling prowess.
Your just jealous I'm not under 12ft. of snow & can ride everyday

How the hell is Atlanta half way to Washington State??? lmao How about Colorado?
Fastest "Hyperbike" ever to lap Pacific Raceways was a 1200+cc Honda Blackbird that did repeated 1:32 laps. I fully plan on knocking that Blackbird out of the books. I also plan on being the fastest over 300lb guy ever to ride that track, too; but obviously they dont keep those kinda stats so I'll have to check around the pits and with the track pro's to find out who it is and how fast he went. I just am loathing having to pay $175-$250 a session and not knowing how many track days I will need to eek out the tracks quirks and get back into track form.
Got a feeling its gonna be an expensive summer at that damned track! Between my GTO and my 14 I'm gonna have to work some serious overtime this spring.

BMW <==== pretty soon on race tracks around the world they will be liked, hated, but never ignored haha
And some of you never been on a race track such as Daytona, Homestead Miami- International, or Jennings? Leave your cold as fvck states and come ride the real twisties, such as those here in FL!
And some of you claim to ride and your cold states don't even have uhmm...not even one worthy track huh?
I'll be blistering the mountain twisties during the hot summer months, until then I'll stay in FL
You people kill me..... "lets go ride the twisties I'll blow you away blah blah blah" its fvckin'20 below in the miserable places where twisties are

Maybe the BMW will be like the 1st Honda Elsinore. Turns squids into heroes.
But I doubt it.
It has the potential to take the liter bikes up a big notch.
As far as Florida having good riding and such a great track, please.
Never heard of Laguna Seca ?
Daytona aint nothing but a bigass NASCAR track.
Isnt anything like the corkscrew or Raineys on that POS.
Great venue and car track with lots of history.
Other than high speeds it really hasnt got much for bikes.
Heres a link to a little local track; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j68V7D42nF4&feature=related
Nothing like elevation changes.., oh yea aint got none do ya? lol
I could go on,
Pacific Raceway in Seattle.
Spokane raceway.
Thunderhill in NorCal.
Willows.
Portland International Raceway if you want a flat fast track.
Thats just the ones I've been too,
Today I'm riding with motards on mountain roads with nasty conditions.
Slick wet roads, gravel, off camber turns with big ass penalties for misjudgments and so on.
I guess your challenges would be..., blue hairs and drive by shootings? lol
Not much need for a BMW 1000rr in your everyday riding.
Maybe a HD cruiser for pickin up chicas
Hows the popcorn show going, Intimida2or ? lol

Old Guy: I love the tracks any and everywhere, I was specifically replying to those busting on FL. Some people live in frigid twisties and never been on a track such as Daytona, Barber, or Laguna and want to "bust on the places" for the quality of twisties haha
Although Laguna Seca is questionable these past few years plus its in in a warmer climate too

Too funny, I have been to Daytona back in 1990's when I worked at D&D Exhaust back when there shit worked :-) too bad at finish line you had to go left into the infield :-) the whole track would have been better :-) Larry Locklear was riding in the CB900RR Cup Series back then and we sponsered him one year, finish 4th. Had the second fastest bike with a the 4th fastest rider :-)
Erion Honda shows up in a 18 wheeler with a "stock" 900....right and a Pro rider that wanted some laps before the 200 the next day. This series was for the average guy with bike in his van. Fun times with the "Lloyds" in the water. All good memories back then.
Wish I was in Florida this week...15 degrees tonight in Fort Worth, texas burrrrr
cager time.
