  Just bought a 2013 K1300R. Can't stop riding it and always brings a smile.

  On 14th Jamuary 1986 I traded my 2 Guzzi's for an R80 Paris Dakar - I sold it in 2009, I did 320,000 kms on it and it never, not once didnt get me home. Endoover ended down a mountain, covered by sea water, drowned in a swamp, crashed and chucked and ridden hard as - 2 engines, 2 gearboxes, 5 different colours and I dyed that awful orange seat black the day after I bought it using my mum's shoe dye . . awesome bike.

  I recently sold my ‘06 K1200R. It was a love affair of unadulterated power. So many other riders would tell me my K scared the crap out of them.

  The BMW boxer engine is just a classic, so many great bikes have had a version of that engine. In the real world where the configuration does not impinge on lean angle, like on the track, the smoothness and low center of gravity makes these bikes really special. I own two different BMW's and the Telelever front suspension with the way it controls pitch and dive under breaking is just wonderful. In all I own 12 motorcycles and every time I get back on one of the BMW's I'm always amazed by how wonderful they feel to ride.

  We cannot change History and so we should not try to Hide it either.

  Great bikes, great innovation and great design. The documentary is innovative too, in bringing us the worst in what is now normal in truly nauseating documentaries.

  I’ve ridden them all.  Honda’s are great, but the BMW GSA is best bike I have owned. A smile every mile, quality and engineering excellence.
