Zaskar Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) So I sold the 848 Street Fighter a few months ago and got this to replace it... Edited January 5, 2015 by Zaskar BenReaper, FrankG, Audible Anarchy and 4 others 7
Tromp Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 So I sold the 848 Street Fighter a few months ago and got this to replace it...I like your new bike , make no mistake. However , why is BMW not shaping in the Superbike Series ? It kicked off with such a bang , and just faded from the scene. I think it ended second from last on the manufacturers list ?
Klaus Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Yea it's crazy. If I'm not mistaken they use the engine out of a Dodge Viper. Viper has an 8,3 litre V10
Spoke101 Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Viper has an 8,3 litre V10Can't remember if this was about the Boss Hoss bikes, if it is there are a few different engine options.
Guest Omega Man Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) I like your new bike , make no mistake. However , why is BMW not shaping in the Superbike Series ? It kicked off with such a bang , and just faded from the scene. I think it ended second from last on the manufacturers list ?They effectively pulled their WSBK team and put their factory effort behind Michael Dunlop at the TT. He took all 3 big bike TT's and BMW's first win in something like 50 years at the TT. The bike was supposedly making 225 BHP. GULP! The BMW team in WSBK was effectively a privateer team run out of Italy. This year the TAS team will also switch from Suzuki machinery which will see Guy Martin and William Dunlop on BMW's on the roads too.

Cois Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 With the money you save on fuel and not buying the KTM/BMW do this...  http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/skibumbrian/KLR-Xmods003.jpgWhere can one get a dash like this?  I have a BMW, but with the F650GS you need a 2nd mortgage to replace the instrument panel

GrumpyOldGuy Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Jip, know that one.This is what I was referring to.There are lots of these kinds of bikes running around the USA.The engineering involved is quite incredible and they are all mostly hand built, even if they are so called name brands like "Boss Hoss". At my local Harley dealer they had one for sale a few months back and I took a few shots of it on the showroom floor, I forget the price now but it was well into the $45.000.00 range, someone snapped it up within a month, there is an incredibly high demand because if you order one you could look at a lead time of about 8-12 months, so any that come into the market are quickly grabbed up.   Edited January 5, 2015 by GrumpyOldGuy Spoke101 1
GrumpyOldGuy Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 My next Harley.   Harley here is huge, some of the big dealers even have their own Hotel on site.  Lexx and nathrix 2
