You want Ugly? I'll give you ugly!

We have a vendor just a block down from Boss Hoss and I got a chance to see these up close. They don't make any claims to a max top speed because no one has had the courage to take them any faster than around 180 MPH, at which point the bike hasn't even broken a sweat - but I'm sure the rider has. Yeah, we Yanks like everything BIG!!!!!

You probably run out of gas before you hit top speed
my favorite part- no transmission, just a single gear final drive that turns the output shaft 90 degrees not my style- but wouldn't mind riding one to 120 or so.

I don't know a ton about bikes but...
the 2wheel enthusiests I talk to say that the BMW bikes are nice to ride but they lack the real get up and go you want out of most availble bikes. This bike remided me of the Honda Intercepter pictured here. I think it's a beter deal at 2/3 the cost of a Bavarian motorcycle. Just my $.02
Here's another example: BMW R 1150 RT Displacement 1130 cc Horsepower 95 Price:$16590 Yamaha R6 Displacement 600 cc Horsepower 123 bhp Price:$8499 Why pay more for a brand name? The state patrol bought a whole fleet of these if it's any consolation. But Crown-Victorias aren't exactly the cream of the crop either if you know what I mean. Buy what you will, I just hate to see people waste money. Last edited by SEA Sleeper; 02-03-2005 at 06:38 PM.

Yamaha R6 = 50# torque @ 12,000 RPM
BMW R1150RT = 74# torque @ 5,500 RPM These are 2 very different bikes- one (BMW) is a touring bike of the highest class, the other (R6) is possibly the best road race bike in the world- the bigger race bikes tend to corner slower than the 600cc bikes. If you want to go really fast for an hour or 2 the Yamaha is great, but not for touring several days on end, or even a slow senic ride. The Honda Interceptor is another sport bike, try this for comparison to the BMW.
