Thumbs up

Great idea. We need a good pic thread. This is the new H-D, maybe the new sporty? Stole it from the sacborg board. Note perimeter frame, unit transmission, and beefy-looking brakes.

And last...sat on this bike yesterday. The riding position is perfect for my 6'4" 220lb body. And, she makes 130ish hp at the rear wheel. Shweet! Might have to get one.

I love that Guzzi...but riding it is like straddling a nuclear lawn tractor...menacing vibrations and the un-BMW like shaft reaction/jacking...beautiful to look at, though.

Somewhere there is a picture of the new
Le Mans but I'll be damned if I can remember where. It is beautiful.

This pic? The fairing doesn't do much for me personally...but maybe in person it looks better.

Reference the Harley...it looks like an SV650 on steroids. If y'all wanna see some cool Duc stuff, go to:

Check prices for the 6000 mile service. Around here, the dealer charges ~$600 for a liquid-cooled Duc. The R1100S is about $150. The Speed Triple about $175.

Because she's a gorgeous Italian lady, that's why. Just remember though - one morning you will wake up and your wallet and your girl will be gone.

Rob - go get a shot of tequila, or a hooker, or something. You need to unwind.

This is for you:

Serious now, I do think there is too much Non ' Forum: BMW R1100S Tech Forum ' stuff posted. Maybe Steve can open another forum for this?

BTW, I hate tequilla and I'm married. I'll have a malt instead! Keep on posting whatever you want, don't let my pitiful comments stop you.

Cheers
Rob
