Yes, I do, but that's just because of the road that this thread has taken: it's up to those who contribute and, so far, it consists in the main of photos that have been doing the rounds on the internet since year dot about BMWs.

No matter, someone has moved the thread into "which bike", so over to those who want to expand the thread into something other than BMW related.


Yes, but a lot of "things" added to bikes nowadays are there because of legislation somewhere in the world: e.g. BMW have to toe the line along with all the others who want to sell new bikes in the EU = ABS is all but compulsory (I can't remember exactly when it does become so, but the manufs know what is coming to them and they get ahead of the legislation).


Flying brick or plain "brick" that engine is enormously reliable as both a 750cc and in the 1000cc and bigger versions.

Yep, the inline 4 did a good job at the 2014 TT races, bringing in the German marque in first place since a hell of a long time (since 1939 ironically).

I've just got around to looking at the links that were the start of the post about fuel tanks; I didn't bother to read much in there - the posts in the links are 5-6 years old and they just dribble away into no resolution of the discussions; one of them is killed stone dead by starting a poll.

Maybe these tanks, or a batch of these tanks, were prone to being effected by ethanol; many plastic tanks have had an issue with that fuel, irrespective of the tank manufacturer.
