bike night...this being a bmw chances are the guy who brings it is gonna be a class a toolbox. Im talkin snap-on grade. I really do like the way the bike looks, but me and german cars have never got along well. I cant imagine this would be much different

I'm really digging it in green...but I don't know if I would want to make a long term commitment on BMW.

Either way...2010 is shaping up to be an interesting year (when I will finally go and get a new bike...leading contender is the CBR1K)

I don't really care for the headlights. The sideview is nice.

So far WSBK results say otherwise. And I'm sure that some shit will break and BMW will blame the owners because their engineers have never put out a bad product before.

Do you guys know that even until now, they refuse to admit that their servo-assist ABS braking system was a moronic idea not to mention that the pump was well known for failing yet they refuse to put out a recall on the damn pump?

I oughtta drive the goddamn BMW into a wall and collect insurance and be done with The Roundel once and for all.

to their (somewhat) credit, they had a one two finish in the german domestic superbike series. Cant remember the name of it though
