BMW Other description

2012 BMW F800ST, The state-of-the-art parallel twin engine with electronic fuel injection in the 2012 BMW F 800 ST develops 87 horsepower from its 798cc, not to mention a mighty 63 foot-pounds of torque. And with the deep, throaty exhaust tone, its sound is every bit as impressive as it performs. The bike is light, agile, and fast. While the website calls it a roadster, some might call it a naked bike. Whatever you want to call it, the BMW F offers the perfect combination of highway riding with a high degree of maneuverability for everyday urban use. The BMW F 800 ST offers a breadth of performance that pleases experienced riders just as it does beginners, in particular because all 87 horses of power are available across a perfectly linear engine speed range - in other words ridability and riding fun across the board. The F 800 R is great in the city, stable on the highway, and agile on the backroads. To add to some of the appeal, anti-lock brakes come standard. A lightweight, rigid aluminum frame and dynamically styled double swing-arm, means the bike is also extremely maneuverable. This bike had something for everyone: experienced riders will be attracted to its acceleration and handling capabilities while enjoying the responsive, dynamic characteristics; newer riders or riders looking to get back into motorcycling will be attracted to the confidence a light, responsive motorcycle like this offers.

Kevin Ash, one year on

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

I’ve lost dozens of friends in bike racing over the years, and while each death was a shock and incredibly sad, I’ve always had some kind of internal coping mechanism that allowed me to carry on relatively unaffected.  Maybe it’s because I was always extremely passionate and committed when taking part in my dangerous sport so was also prepared to pay the ultimate price should things go wrong.  Rightly or wrongly I’ve taken comfort from the fact that these unfortunate racers have checked out while doing something they love.   I’ve also lost a few journalist friends in bike accidents over the years but for some reason these have hit me harder.  The worst and possibly as it is the most recent is Kevin Ash who was killed last January while on a BMW launch in South Africa.  Starting in 2001, over a period of ten years, I was in Kevin’s company on countless new bike launches in pretty much every corner of the world.  At times he was cocky and occasionally irritating but always entertaining with a wicked sense of humour.  He was many things but no one can deny he was a brilliant journalist and his technical knowledge was second to none.  I always appreciated his complete enthusiasm to all things biking as he would ride through any weather on a daily basis to jobs or airports and seemed to always be tinkering with winter projects (mainly Ducatis) at home.  I also admired how much work he got through as he had columns in more than one weekly publication plus all his launch and web work. He was a competent safe rider who was certainly quick enough to evaluate any new bike thrown his way.  Kevin also drove a Porsche but then none of us are perfect!   I looked to Kevin as a wise Owl so not long after I started working with TWO/ Visordown, I asked him on an R1 launch in Australia he thought the motorcycle industry was currently in a good place.  His reply was, ‘we’ve just been flown here business class, been taken by speed boat to our five star hotel under Sydney Harbour Bridge, Yamaha have wined and dined us and furnished us with expensive gifts each day, what do you think Niall?  How times have changed.  On the subject on air travel he once told me, ‘when travelling business or first class it’s not about the pampering, comfy beds or fine dining, the important part is looking smug as you walk straight past all the people lining up at the cattle class check in! On more than one occasion I had food or drink spurt out when Kevin would deliver unexpected one line funnies at the dinner table.

2014 BMW R nineT Production Begins

Tue, 03 Dec 2013

The first production models of the BMW R nineT roadster have rolled off the assembly line in Berlin. The R nineT is a special model for BMW, representing the company’s 90 years in the motorcycle industry, so it’s no surprise the start of production was made with much fanfare. BMW invited 100 guests including the team from German customization studio Urban Motor to watch assembly of the first three units of the R nineT including the final dynamometer testing where more than 1,000 different parameters are measured before a motorcycle can be released.
