BMW Sportbike?
« on: August 24, 2008, 10:54:50 PM »
Anyone here anything about the BMW sportbike?  I hardly know much about it except whats on their site.  When did it come on to the scene?  I didn't think BMW was ever going to make a sport bike :P

BMW have been relatively competitive in the Canadian Thunder class of the Parts Canada Superbike series for a number of years.  Their bikes were just never fully faired until about 4 years ago or so.  That's when everyone started to take notice of them as sportbikes.  They are still priced higher than they are worth IMO though.
