Author Message   Froggy Posted on Friday, January 13, 2012 - 12:41 pm:        http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/bmw/2013-bm w-r1250gs-preview-91202.html Watercooled, electronic suspension, traction control and ABS? Bring it on, make it hard for me to decide between Multistrada or now the Multistrudle.   Rwcfrank Posted on Friday, January 13, 2012 - 01:28 pm:        Ya gotta love the opening line of the article "Big news is leaking out from Bavaria." Big news and coolant maybe?   Xbimmer Posted on Friday, January 13, 2012 - 01:40 pm:        ...or maybe the final drive (again)...   Rodclement Posted on Friday, January 13, 2012 - 06:20 pm:        So...$20K bike??? not for me... Rod   Towpro Posted on Friday, January 13, 2012 - 09:00 pm:        I read the line under the picture: "the switch to liquid cooling may also alienate some of BMW's core customers." where have I heard that before?   Ft_bstrd Posted on Friday, January 13, 2012 - 10:37 pm:        http://www.motorcycle.com/gallery/gallery.php?g2_v iew=largephotos.Largephotos&g2_itemId=321514 Still ugly.   Ronmold Posted on Saturday, January 14, 2012 - 02:15 am:        And to be more environmentally friendly they're switching the glycol mixture for BEER!   Bikelit Posted on Saturday, January 14, 2012 - 10:24 am:        Capable of anything from trips to Alaska to the morning commute make it look pretty bad ass to me. Probably takes up the garage space of two ulys.....   Mikef5000 Posted on Saturday, January 14, 2012 - 04:29 pm:        With the sudden onset of competition, they're going to have to be mighty careful with the price point.   Argentcorvid Posted on Saturday, January 14, 2012 - 04:57 pm:        Has anyone come up with a name for this version? airhead->oilhead->hexhead->camhead->? waterhead probably won't fly.   Conchop Posted on Saturday, January 14, 2012 - 06:03 pm:        Fugly - COunt Mach von Schnell - monacal and all. Extremely effective motorcycle - but - fugly train wreck.   Rwcfrank Posted on Saturday, January 14, 2012 - 06:39 pm:        aqua head?   Froggy Posted on Saturday, January 14, 2012 - 07:19 pm:        quote: - but - fugly train wreck. Says the Uly owner...   Mikef5000 Posted on Saturday, January 14, 2012 - 07:28 pm:        quote: Says the Uly owner... Uh, yeah. You're in the Uly department. I've always liked the utilitarian look of the GS's, and adventure bikes in general, but that thing does Look a bit out of control. Hopefully it's more of the urban camo to hide its true prototype nature.   Argentcorvid Posted on Saturday, January 14, 2012 - 08:22 pm:        Steamer beemer?   Ronmold Posted on Saturday, January 14, 2012 - 09:47 pm:        Beer Head!   Ft_bstrd Posted on Sunday, January 15, 2012 - 01:53 am:        Wasserrad   Mikef5000 Posted on Sunday, January 15, 2012 - 08:33 am:        Wasserkopf?   Conchop Posted on Sunday, January 15, 2012 - 09:08 am:        Steamer Beemer was a good one.   Tootal Posted on Sunday, January 15, 2012 - 01:39 pm:        Maybe they can borrow a name from VW when they made the later model liquid cooled VW bus. The Wasserboxer!
