Crasher. What have you started? If you hear a lot of 'wet farts' approaching - Run. Run like the wind.

Lol. Sunday entertainment whilst waiting for the racing no less!

Never ridden a fast Harley .

Well, if you ever see a 120R powered anything at an HD dealership near you, do yourself a favour and ride it. They're fucking cool fun. And before anyone could say I have an HD bent simply because I sold them for 20 years, I currently own 9 motorcycles. 4 Suzuki's and the rest Kawasaki's. But a thundering big twin (or good Sporty for that matter) is a shitload of fun. More so than any boxer I've ever ridden. And yes, I've worked in two BMW dealerships over the years too...

Ohhh anti-boxer - I think that's a new one. I understand the anti-BMW rider thing of past years as, lets face it, pre 4 cylinder BMW's they used to be a snobby pack of buggers, but I've never heard or read of a anti-boxer bent.

Well if the produced a Repilca VR1000 in decent numbers above 55 I would have a go or a Modern XLCR
But the others are not to my taste. they missed the boat when it came to the mass appeal styling.

plus the Germans never had a race series where they constantly modified the rules to exclude other marques from competing equal footing like the AMA did.

Like the Aussies did to the Nissan Godzilla, the Beemers and RX7's to protect the shitty holden and ford v8's

Yip. just ask Jim or Murph or Phar Lap.
The yanks did tend to do it in all the classes not just dirt track though like the AMA capacity rules favouring side valves and rules against OHC limiting number of gears etc etc

...I had a couple of hours of probably the most exhilarating, motorcycle time in my life recently...V4 Tuono, a year old...I was glad by the time I gave it back that I choose my Sporty to go and ride with the twats that have a licence to share our space...so boringly, unbreakable, forgiving, industrial, that just like a new roof and a freezer full of good kai, all is well...embarrasses a few Sprottys that can only pin it on the straights...I like that bit...don't handle, where's your nuts?...

[Voltaire]

That isn't to say I wouldn't much rather have a XLCR than a R90s.

.

I'd have the R90s.... a 1974 one.

You already have a R90, R90/6, R100RT.

Note to self: update profile more than twice a decade. List is somewhat longer.... thanks to GFC and career change.

No such thing as too many motorsickles!!!

maybe.....but if I could only have two would be Thruxon R and R9T Urban GS.

What two would you have?

[Kickaha]

What would be collectible if it's survived all these years is the bike the spawned the GS beemers The bike Bernd Walrof built, that's were BMW got the idea as he was one of their mechanics]

BMW already had their ISDE bikes and own cross country bikes well before he built that and that's what their GS was based on

Only cool if Steve McQueen rode them ( when not escaping from Germany)

That's a fucking tough question. Prob my GSXR1100 and either a 500cc two stroke dirt bike, or a modern 450cc dirt bike.
