It's not about $20 it's the perception how come you don't own one!! exactly.

As Lennie has pointed out, the sprockets fit the R1200 bikes up to 2010, not exactly old bangers. I own two of them and have fitted sprockets to both because there are no better options that I am aware of. One can spend many times the price on bolt on options like exhausts and tuning systems, but none will give the broad torque boost and improved low rpm running of Lennies sprockets.
The RT and extremely popular GS/GSA models are prime candidates for Lennies sprockets. More relaxed touring due to less gear changing and significantly less clutch slipping required when loaded up with passenger/luggage or when picking ones way through the rough stuff off road.
I sincerely believe BMW made a mistake by not providing this type of performance from the factory. Way to much emphasis on maximum HP numbers and top end that few people ever use, or could use and stay out of jail.
