Make my day

Dacar Motor Sport unveiled a very exciting gadget for the BMW 1200 GS, a Twin Turbo kit that transforms the BMW Boxer engine to a completely new engine with 170HP…yes you read that right 170HP.

So if you feel that your GS is under powered, this is the best performance kit you could ever treat your boxer to, and am sure it could be easily modified to fit any BMW equipped with a boxer engine.

The kit is easy to install and comes with an intercooler, custom made exhaust ducts and an ECU. Read more

Nothing Special !!

November 10, 2011 by · Leave a Comment
 

I have been browsing the net the past 2 days, reading all posts and news coverage of EICMA, i was also following Facebook posts by a couple of friends who are attending the exhibition but unfortunately -apart from the EICMA girls – this year exhibition had nothing special.

It’s more of a scooter exhibition than a motorcycle exhibition, most of the bikes at EICMA were either a different color version of last year models or just face lifted 2010 motorcycles.

Most of the manufacturers had a couple of scooters on display, but the chatter was mostly on BMW scooters the C 600 Sport and the C 650 GT plus concept C and concept E. Aprilia also introduced 2 new scooters, the SRV 850 and the SR Motard which comes in either 2-stroke 50cc or a 4-stroke 125cc. but the most radical designs came from Vespa.

There must be good reason for BMW to go back to the scooter market, is it the gas prices, is it the bad city traffic, or its just a trend that’s becoming a cult ?

Note: the video above is from last year as i couldn’t find any good ones of this year.

The above video is for the K1200R it goes back to 2006 and its full of attitude, where as the below is for the S1000RR and its a fresh brew missing all the attitude !

BMW please give the RR ads some Attitude to gain some Respect.

2012 S1000RR

This may come as surprise and maybe a dissapointment for those who just bought the S1000RR, almost two years after its launch the BMW S1000RR gets a revision.
The main objective of the revision was to enhance the riding precision and agility of the bike by giving it a punchier power buildup, and a much more sensitive response…these enhancements were based on feedback BMW got from super stock racers.
The bike got a lot of other enhancements but if it’s any consolation, no changes to the power and its still producing 193 hp but with a bit more precision. Read more

BMW 2012 lineup

No significant changes in the 2012 lineup, the lineup will only come dressed in some new colors plus a Trophy edition 800GS.

The good news is that the K1300R and the K1300S are here to stay -or at least until 2013-, still the rumors of a 1600cc naked bike are very strong and its said that the bike is 13hp less powerful than the four-cylinder “K” !!

The K1300S will be available in Titan Silver Metallic and in Sapphire Metallic Black, the K1300R will only come in Acid Green Metallic.

I’ve Got the Power !

This is a video we shot last year, we had a demo Aprilla RSV4 Factory, a demo BMW S1000rr and a fully moded BMW E60 M5.
We were experimenting with the RR trying to find out what can it do, so we asked our friend on the RR to stop and only start accelerating when we – me on the RSV4 and my friend in the M5- pass by him at a speed of 100kmh.
Now the thing that we did not know that the RSV4 was on the “R” mood which stands for Road and only pumps out 140hp while the “R” mood on the RR is the race mode that unleashes all the 180 horses.
Enjoy
