you did buy those guards we discussed?
Nope.
Racing a G450X this time. Not as far to fall.

actually, since the HP2 falls on it's cylinder heads, it falls less far than the single.
but, twice as hard.
i know how you know this.
(just no yard sales, please)
When the laws of physics are violated the actual distance from my butt / ribs / head to the ground is less.
I dunno about you, Rob, but yawning is not one of the things this video makes me feel like doing...

Besides displaying some awesome riding abilities the video is clever marketing, too. Getting the word out to the Sporty crowd by letting them see the bike up close and not just sitting on the showroom floor.
Indeed.
I'm not much of a gambler but I'm defintely going to throw $10 to one of the MOA raffle tickets.
Kids!
For the amount of rubber wasted, I could have done about 8000 kilometers of great Alpine roads.
Or maybe 9000 kilometers!

Given we're talking BMW of Daytona I'm willing to wager the're new to the Marque.
So John I quess the million dollar question is who bought them? The target audience, a more traditional BMW buyer, the BMW guy who has to have the newest BMW etc., or who? Did they give you any feedback on that?
Because....?
This has all been fun reading, but here's my take. If they sell a lot of bikes the dealerships are healthy, selling tires maybe fairly often too, and stay in business, and I can still conveniently buy parts for my K75, F650, and R1150R. And the company pumps more into R&D and comes out with other new models that grab my fancy and pocketbook. If all BMW did was sell parts to Airheads and old Classic K riders like me they would soon go the way of so many failed businesses. More power to them if they excite buyers, old, young, existing, new - whatever. Sales are good, whether my idea of a perfect long distance touring bike or not. I want one. I won't buy one. But I want one.
I want one. I won't buy one. But I want one.
Just a gut feeling that's all.
