Another BMW vid - sportsbikes beware :)
 

Just saw this on UKGSers, a nice vid of a GS1200 trouncing a sportsbike round a track:

Here's a pic of the rider in action:

Just shows that outright BHP isn't the deciding factor in the real world. Now if only I could afford one... still let's have my SV1000 first ;).

Twins rule!

Kewl... 8)

Awesome! 8) Proof if it were needed that you dont need a sportsbike!

is that a vid cam at the front of the bike?? odd place to put it.

Yes I think so. Still at least you got an unimpaired view.

... and (if you were on the road,) the rossers can't pull you & use your own video as evidence (i.e. with speedo in view,) against you :D

Spot on - I was just keeping up with my mates 1000cc ThunderAce at a recent trackday at Snetterton, which is meant to be a "power circuit"!! Through the bends I was pulling loads back that I had lost on the straights... :D He wasnt happy! MUHAHAHA! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

No point owning a super powerful sports bike if you can't handle the power. That's why the SV is so popular, any power much above 60/70bhp is unusable for most riders.
