    BMW F 800 S

    I'm way impressed with this new BMW offering. Twin cylinder 800. Looks a ripper to me.

    I like that. A German take on the TRX, and the belt drive would be a breeze to live with.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Yes. 419lbs(190kg) dry, or what GSXR 750's weighed in 1990.

    Must do better Mr BMW.

    My R6 weighs 357lbs (162kg) dry and makes 25 more rear wheel HP.

    The F800's not a Sports bike at all, in any way. A healthy SV650 will kill it.

    is it me, or does it look like the new MZs?
    i kinda like it, but it is heavy...
    what does a TRX850 weigh?, probably a better comparison than an R6.
    I am Jack's complete lack of remorse .

    You may have to change your pop-up setting for it.
