Speaking of big beamers have you tried the new R1200GS? I had one for the afternoon a few weeks ago and It's amazing on real roads and twisties. Especially if the roads are bumpy very quick bike. Great clearence,handling and torque. One of the most fun bikes I've ever ridden on the road or dirt and seriously thinking about buying one. It's good at everything from touring,twisties,gravel and fire trails.

Never really been into beemers but the new GS is an amazing bike, the 1150GS was good but this is so much better. And probably one of the best all round bikes on the market today.

Not sure about the US but they count for the highest deaths,injuries and accidents in this country and Australia and it's scary watching them on the road and times.

~~I offered my dad a test drive few years ago with a GSX-R 750; he did ask how much is that bike having power and when I replied he took a step back and said "Hell no"~~

Haven't driven new ones; K100RS was newest (and R35 oldest...). That wasn't as nimble as GSX-R but it was much more comfortable at highways; it was like a train and didn't need any "driving". Heh actually it was quite boring bike; it was so pleasant to drive with plenty of torque from down low due the fuel injection

btw... Has BMW learnt to build turn-light switches yet?

Naah; you were just acting like a 10y old kid who thinks only his toys are cool but maybe you're just a ignorant fool.

Next to our clubhouse is two MC-clubs and we've had fun drinking and using our club's sauna; even if guys are driving HDs they can also enjoy "racers" and even Russian Zündapp/BMW copies (crappiest bikes you can imagine).
Then again they are Bikers and not "bikers"

Yep staga you do seem tohave a clue. As does swoop.

Jackle you are a bit fixated with the homosexual thing aren't you? Bit repressed maybe?

That 1200 bandit with the glowing pipes is hillarious. Few years ago a group of us went to Brands Hatch for the WSB. Back in the Foggy era. Some guys there had C50 motors on welded up stands, taped the throttlles wide open and waited to see what happened. The bang was very big. Heard a guy playing tunes with a Duke at Spa Francorchamps one year too. He was hitting the rev limiter and using the kill switch to cause backfires as percussion. Not something I'd do with my engine but entertaining to watch/listen.

My specialty used to stunting but that was when I was younger crazier, and my bikes were the matt black knackered cheap as sh*t variety. I've too much metal in me and the bikes are way more expensive nowadays.

Well here's one matte black GSX-R 1100; guess the owner couldn't afford to buy anything else but tar after that sticker in rear swing... MC XPress

Zulu7 · « **Reply #188 on:** February 23, 2005, 04:44:42 PM »

Staga · « **Reply #189 on:** February 23, 2005, 04:46:59 PM »

I been following the thread, and have ridden bikes since I was 9 years old, and I average 45,000 Km a year on a bike. If Jackal1 is a "real biker" then I am glad I am not, because Jackal1, you sir are an ASS.

Jackal1 · « **Reply #191 on:** February 23, 2005, 05:03:25 PM »

Why thank you Heater. I strive towards perfection in that area.

Whoomp, there it is. ROFLMAO
It all becomes clear now. No wonder about all the defensive, sensitive rebuttal.

It's clear You really don't have a clue but still want to think so

You're just yapping; You're not a biker, You're not cool, You're just a "wannabe" something stuck on your dreams... Personally I don't think You're anything but a "homer".
