Best effort I've ever seen by a BMW rider though. Full credit

hahahah that must be just before it slides,
father in law looking at getting one of those silly things, he still won't be able to keep up.

got the knee down on the father in laws k12rs but i think there was only like 1' of my ass check still on the seat, you have to hang off it big time to go around corners

That's the K1200S which was only recently launched in Bavaria, new suspension & all sorts of things.

But from http://www.cmgonline.com here's a "What happened next" photo

**Quasievil** · 12th August 2004, 16:21

Thats looks like a Waikato Rally corner to me mmmmmmmm yes it does.

**Posh Tourer :P** · 12th August 2004, 17:40

Did they think about the fact that the bike looks like an insect with two antennae and a compound eye????

That thing is ugly with those mirrors!

**What?** · 12th August 2004, 20:05

What happened next?? It might have been next, but it ain't the same bike or rider...

Did anyone happen to see Brian Bernard riding the R1100S around Manfeild when they first came out? (1998 or 99?) He was scraping the cylinder heads and doing very respectable times indeed.

We've got a mate who rides a mid-70's R75/5 that he's had since new - he's surprised a few young guys over Paekak Hill in his time. ("who's this white haired old git on this poxy old BMW shitter?" you can see them thinking....before they've seen him ride)

It obviously wasn't the same bike, but it was almost certainly from the same launch in Bavaria in which the first photo was probably taken.

geez, he must be about to loose the cylinder heads at that angle! I'm surprised that the still run that Boxer Cup in Germany. They really must be proud of their engineering to showcase it in an arena of such poor performance

**Blakamin** · 13th August 2004, 13:59

He's either dragging something on the left side, or its the stand holding the bike up for photos

Yeah BMW are going MotoGP with a 3 cyl apparently. Some rumours suggest that they could be buying KTM's abandoned project but others say that they are developing their own engine. Good on 'em I say. That new K1200S sounds good...
