Getting back on subject Pedro...you were comparing that beauty from BMW to the powerplus engine...im sure at 160 hp BMW hasn't much left in the tank with that engine...you do realize the powerful powerplus is de-tuned sold to the public...that engine can easily produce over 200 hp with only intake and exaust mods...

Its under warranty Pedro...why would I work on it...? Have you forgotten Pete's BMW experience...lol. Nothing against German engineering....from having looked at the company in general...to bikes to cars...they are over engineerd...why was the Sherman tank better than the tiger. ?

A friend of mine owned one...it was and older model...can't remember the year...it wasn't very old...the abs unit failed on it and the warranty had just ran out...it was actually cheaper to scrap the bike than having it repaired...

Way better in leaking oil...lol...omg Pedro this is another Ducati kinda bike...plague with ABS nightmares...so complicated built that only a dealership can work on them...how reliable are they ? Don't see this bike breaking the endurance record that for sure....

Now now...no need for insults...we're just talking about bike...lol.

Again apple to oranges....a six cylinder now...lol....but that is a beautiful bike I have to admit...but not in the same ball park ...this is what we call a sport touring... I was talking about this Bike from BMW...

Can I count on your vote Saul ? Lol.

Oh I know all about Ducatis and there twins...why do think they are not breacking endurance records ? I'll tell you why , its a piece of shit.lol....the thing will explode if it's not services every other day...it's why one of many reason I always stayed away from owning a Ducati bike...serving alone will breack the average man's budget...

Just admit it FFS Pedro...didn't you see what BMW came up with to compete in this segment of the market...must be one of the ugliest bike ever made with and airplane engine...lol.

Its a possibility...three months to go...lol.

Nothing much today other than........ they just called ...bike is ready to be picked up...got to finish that dam ceiling on the shed , ive got the osb boards loaded inside of the trailer...so first thing in the morning...shed work..got a funeral to attend Thursday...so I'll run up and get the bike Friday...

Just imagine now if indian made a superbike...it would destroy the field...lol.

Superbike bikes...I don't understand why this has anything to do with this....? Can you clarify....im slow at times...lol.

Oh and Nute...I do agree the FTR is one beautiful bike...

I think she would have been real pretty if I did have one... Been thinking do you Im solidly ahead in the TOTY competition . With all of the crap I posted and done during the years ...lol

Shut it before I make you my bitch again...lol.

I know its not for everyone...like all touring motorcycles are...they are not made to be a beautiful bike...

That's it ? Tell me why now...why hasn't any other manufacturers broke or is trying to beat this record...? Yes its modified..but it's still a touring bike...not a hyper speed japanese bike...

For and engine...speaking mechanically ...built from the ground up by a snowmobile company specifically built for this bike...I have to say they did and amazing job with this powerplant....and this bike also beat the world endurance record by Guinness for a motorcycle....125 thousand miles in 125 days...think he's still riding it has we're speaking...this ain't no Harley...I think the only that failed on the motorcycle for the 125 thousand miles was the stator...but he was running multiple gps, laptops and a bunch of other shit... So for those who say American motorcycle are shit...I certainly don't see any other manufacturers doing this with a bike that was only born 2020...and Honda can suck it...lol.

Well the challenger hit and non official speed of 197 mph...wich is 320 kph...but still , you are comparing apple to oranges...this is a v twin bike...a record that was standing since 1972 by a triumph...

I think this is even faster than Rich's Busa...what a superb engine this powerplus is...

We can agree on this one... Look Pedro wyll we are here , don't think I did properly apologize for my rant and about everything, we go way back and I always considered you a friend in this virtual world..so please accept my apologies...I was out of line...and lost my temper at the time...your OK in my book...a little to straight at times but I understand you have a job to do...

Your one sick bastard...lol. Might have to remind you about this thread...lol.

Swallowed a needle in grade 7...true story...they cut me open to try to find it...but I had digested it before it left the stomach...lol...
