wouldn't that be a beemer, and the cars are "bimmers"? Or am I backwards? |

Nope you're right. Bimmer - car Beemer - bike (from a guy I ride with who's owned BMW bikes since 1975) |

I've heard them pronounced differently (from guys that swear by BMW cars and will drive nothing else), but I can't type phoenitic spellings, so bear with me here: Bike = beemer, prounced beam-er car = bimmer, prounced, well, bim-mer (not like beam...sorry, like I said, I can't type phoenitic spellings) |

Nice ride... I tried to ride my BMW R1100R across the country last year and broke down in Kansas. So I had a lot of time to look and drool on a bike like yours. Very nice ride... How fast will it go? Mine has 40 fewer horses than yours and only 5 gears so it tops out at 119. I love mine, even though it is not as fast as I would like. If I get another BMW, I will keep this one as it is just a dream ride.

Bought myself a K1200LT in '02 and love it. Enjoy your beemer, and welcome to the board.

The helmet in the picture is a rf900 picotte replica. Unfortunately it is no longer with us as it had an unfortunate encounter with the pavement at Road Atlanta. It did, however, preserve my noggin. Currently wearing an arai rx-7.
