[kawicam250]

We both joined this forum about the same time (3 month difference) , but you have over 1000 posts compared to my 100. Its not required that you reply to every thread posted. If you don't have accurate/helpful information , it might be better to just sit back and read. Don't get mad...I still love you :laugh:

im homeschooled, so it gets boring sometimes. i fixed it, its not worth keeping that up and i was in a hurry when i posted, like i said, i didnt have much time.

 

[Patman]

Like I said there's a lot of information out on the information super highway to read. Next time you are bored spend some time learning, it will help you in many ways.

..... before posting your invaluable "opinion" of a company you know JACK about.

Don't talk trash about German bikes when Rich is around... :rotfl:

 

[likelite]

lots of technology on that bad boy.if it works as good as it looks,i might even go 4stroke. :nod:

Rotax is doing a great job engineering their motors. The new 800cc twin is a beaut, it's got some huge throttle bodies and a great intake port. With a catalytic converter and totally unmolested they are getting over 80rwhp.
This could be a REAL sleeper...

I thought Aprillia's V twin was the toughest looking thing on dirt... until I saw this:

:worship:

Some Fin (Krissi?) won the kings class and prologue at erzberg this year on one. Drool.

 

[_JOE_]

I'm not sure about the width, at least in my area. But I am sure that that bike does well in it's kind of racing. I'm pretty sure I'd catch them valve covers between trees in the bar bangin woods we ride in. But she is a beautiful machine. Too bad I dont have an extra 20 or 30 grand and a great place to ride one!

Ditto. :nod:

 

[thebleakness]

I'd love an HP2 for the Vegas to Reno race, imagine 105hp on a 350lb bike going on a flat-ish dirt road...wow.

Off-topic but did you hear who won the scramble at Erzberg? A privateer...isn't that awesome!

 

[peanuts]

I didn't know that. But it is awesome! Imagine beating all those enduro heroes? Wow. Didn't look like any of those American moto-x guys were there though, like mcgrath or pastrana... or maybe they just didnt finish it... i've only seen the top 10 rankings for 07.

There was one of the new BMW's at the Perry Mountain 24 this year. Cool looking, IMHO. I don't know where it finished, though. I wasn't sure what it was, and when looking at the pics from Perry Mountain, my kid spied the BMW sticker on the tank. I thought it was a joke, but guess it's for real.

I sighted the BMW at our local motocross track "Nybølbanen" here in Denmark today. It was a german team riding suzuki's and BMW. The bike was in all white plastics and no stickers at all.

When asked what they were doing here, they replied "Testing!" - aparently not much for talking :-(.

One of the german team members was running around talking pictures, too bad I didn't bring my camera :-(.

Hrm, personally I think it's swift lookin'. Mayhaps BMW will leave off the heated grips and cup holders for once...

Of course, if it's got BMW's repair record (and price for repairs) I'd steer clear.

*edit*
tooling around the internet I found this. No clue if it's legit...doesn't really show much either.

Will be interesting to see what their offroad product line-up looks like now that they bought Husky.

:coocoo: You're kiddin right???? :whoa:

That's one of the good things about BMW. They rarely need repairs. Super high quality and excellent materials. I had a R100RT that I sold with over 100,000 miles on it and the guy I sold it to sold it at 250,000 miles. Not too many vehicles besides diesel trucks will go that far. All that was ever done to the bike was a valve job. My current BMW is a R1100RTP and has about 65,000 miles. Just getting broke-in. :nod:

That is a very cool lil' tracker Wes. Ron Woods does excellent work. :cool:

I thought it was kinda cool, wish I had more to do with it than posting the pictures. :) By the way, I ended up getting that R1150R in Phoenix. I'm not much of a street guy yet but that thing is putting a grin on my face even now. I can't believe how much fun it is to ride. Dare I say "I love it".
