Yeah I dont know why i typed race, I was actually thinking culture.

Italian bikes are so passionate and stylish. German bikes are built with so much emphasis on design, Japanese machines are so focused and functional. British machines exude a certain flair for protocol.

Yep, I'm going to test ride one here as soon as the weather and my schedule click! I want it to be decent so that I can get a really good romp in. Once or twice around the "block" isn't going to cut it for a bike that costs $17,000!!!

you won't be disappointed, too bad you aren't closer. The unescorted test ride was nice. Plus their recommended loop is actually pretty good. They are taking it up to the gap tomorrow.

yeah, I most likely will go to the gap for a few hours to hang out in the morning. Don't know for how long or when I will be there.

BMW engineering and quality control are totally overrated.

Wait till something fucked up on the bike. Then BMW will blame it on the owner instead of taking responsibility.

We shall see how fast this bike is outside of the dyno room.
