Very slick! Shaft driven I presume?Comment

sliders?
damn, something scares me about the idea of dragging a hard part like that... knees and footpegs are one thing.. you hit a bump, and they move.... but the engine... eeek. i can see a tire unloading and tossing the bike.

There used to be a boxer cup race run at some of the ama superbike races here in the states- basically a bunch of somewhat vintage racers each given a somewhat stock bmw... great fun to watch since the bikes were all identical- especially when they banged the heads together1
Sweet looking bmw :P'88 Hawk GT

190/190
Beemer is finally working on a real superbike. "190/190" = 190hp and 190kg. Going to be a 1000cc 4 cylinder chain driven bike. Looks like BMW is going WSBK racing, maybe AMA as wellComment

Me, too - before I rode it on the track.Originally Posted by Deadlego
The R 1200 S is not easy to handle. You need much experiance to go fast.
But I also tried the BMW F 800 S (don't know if you got it over there). That Bike is real fun even for less experianced riders! But nothing to hug like a hawk

Even though dragging a cylinder head would be kind of dangerous for wrecking, its just so cool.
I have always been a fan of the BMW boxer race bikes. But then again, I drive a Subaru, so maybe I'm biased to boxers.- Matt

HAHA!! Same here!! I really wanted an R1200S, so off to the local BMW shop I go... test rode it and hated it! The salesman says "here take this one out", it was an F800S and much to my surprise it was a total hoot! Honestly, it's the first BMW motorcycle I've ridden that I liked to ride*Originally Posted by marcusMe, too - before I rode it on the track.Originally Posted by Deadlego

boxers inspire boners. simple as that. too bad they`re so heavy.What was the start of all this?
When did the cogs of my Hawk begin to turn?
Perhaps it is impossible to grasp the answer now,
from deep within the flow of time...
But, for a certainty, back then,
I loved it so much, yet hated so many.
I hurt others and was hurt myself...
Yet even then, I rode like the wind,
whilst my laughter echoed
under cerulean skies...Comment
