Cheers foccers.
I know what you mean. I’ve never been a BMW fan, but then again, I’ve always had grudging admiration for the boxer, and also that BMW doesn’t follow the crowd, they do their own – often weird – thing. But I didn’t think I’d ever buy one.
I’ve ridden an early 00’s air head, and whilst it had a nice big bit of low down grunt, it was overall a bit asthmatic compared to the Fazer thou. But this new water-cooled boxer with the ‘shift cam’ valve technology is something else.
Looks wise – it’s not weirdly and wonderfully gorgeous like the R Nine T’s, it’s an odd looking thing. But remember the SAABs of the 70’s and 80’s into the 90’s, you know the 99, 90, 900’s? When I first saw one I thought they were mingin, but then I couldn’t stop looking at them – they were different but they grew on you.
Anyway, what a time to take delivery of a new bike. To and from work – and that’s it. Maybe I can get away with the long way home – though if the NHS is in total melt-down I’ll probably just use the car – gotta reduce all risks however small I guess.
I ever come to sell it – it will be advertised as a rare limited edition Covid19 20 plate.
Plenty more snaps in “ What did you do with whatever else you've got? “
