Wow, look at this bad boy. Not bad for an air cooled twin, no?

Technically, it's oil-cooled...

Well, it is actually air and oil cooled, similar to our bikes. No fan though. And, no coolant.

No need to have a fan when the cylinders are right out in the airstream!

Rubberdown has a nice BMW. I wouldn't mind having one, I like his.

He bought it after having ridden my Uly, so I assume he likes the BMW better.

Acejay: Ever think there might be a reason for all of the coverage lately? As someone on another thread so succinctly put it: "This isn't your father's BMW anymore."

I think the BMW's have a lot to offer. I like the Buell's smaller size/weight and lower seat height though.

The BMW boxer sure idles a lot smoother though... I'd like to see a head-to-head dyno comparison to an XB12.
