Default Re: Loud pipes and slipper clutches (new BMW)

Ok i'll be the dissenter.

Looks and will sound like every jap IL4 1000.

Won't be as good as every jap IL4 1000.

WSB should have a 1400cc rule for Boxer twins.

I want it... now!

My dreams of a K1200S have suddenly been replaced!

Ps: I wonder if they'll do a pillion seat conversion for it

I like it, nice to see a bike with a proper exhaust on it rather than all these stupid triangle things they're all going for.

Also the styling of bodywork is quite cool.

Or a supercharger... that would bring them upto spec...

As for not as good as the Japs... If The Ities can do it then im sure the Krauts can.

(If nicknames are spelt wrong then sorry).
