What we need is a proper R1100s replacement, surely the design boffins at BMW could use the new 1300 engine and frame to make a very nice sporty real world road bike

R1200S and loving it !

I know someone who works in the Motorrad accounting department in Munich, they share the same office space as the design team, perhaps we could try to influence them…….





Be bloody brilliant if they did make it

In all honesty - the technical glitches recently haven't helped keep the conversation flowing: but hopefully that's all behind us now!

Given the 13GS is 145hp, I reckon some ECU tweaking could get a 13S to at least an easy 150 plus HP which would make an awesome real world sports bike...

What we really need is an 800cc boxer twin range. (Again) That would be interesting. Scrap the fake BMW`s all together as they may possibly fail to compete with Chinah and India in the very near future.
Fiat Panda.
Fiat Scudo (with speedblock, pipe carrier, reversing sensors, reversing camera, tow bar, some new rust and Fake Plumber logo)


started out with nothing, still have most of it left.
