I guess the beemer driver expected the bike to just hover and float over his/her car. Pity the driver will have been late for their highly important business meeting

Seen a YZF125 buried in an escort exactly the same way before.....very strange site seing a bike stood up with noone on it.


Plus going on the profile of the rear of the car and size comparison compared to the passat it looks like a 1 Series BMW?

you raise a good point, maybe its just because the front it up so high it looks like an x3

editttttt; Ch00 is absolutely right it's totally different to an X3
Still, considering the 'monsterous' engine is in the front, the KTM did veeeeery well

At least with proof like that, there's no way the beemer driver can dispute liability

The rider was pretty lucky not to have been shunted into the other lane.....
