Well BMW (and HD) proved everyone wrong - it's the best liter bike you can buy. It will turn a good rider into a superhero with all the electronic gizmos and loads of power (around 200 hp). The 2010 you posted is a totally different bike form the new version. But it will flatten your eyeballs. if anything it is more race track oriented and not for the casual rider. In short, it can kill you fast.

Even though you lost your opportunity, you can get this bike - https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a3...ycle-for-sale/ that set the latest record at 32 hours and some change. Less $$ and it's in Texas! It should be in a museum. Or impounded.
Lol like I said, I'm not in the market. I just find the machines fascinating and the history of them is something I never tire of. I crave museums and motorcycle shows. I figured you could give me a more human experience regarding that bike and I was not dissapointed.

Sorta. I have to register twice a week. Each time they give me thingy to scan on my phone so I can be tracked when I take my bi weekly PCR covid test. You dont have to get tested if you are vaccinated because vaccinated people dont spread covid...

Regarding the blonde girl ... it's too bad you can't get tested daily.
