Thank god they added another 50 on to it. I mean 1250 is a joke, although to be honest I'll wait for the 1350 or maybe the 1400 or maybe...

Considering a F1 engine is 1500 giving well over 1000BHP.  I'm sure a 1300 modern engine can't be compared with older versions of the 1800.

oddly enough I didn't see any kind of sarcasm when KTM brought out their Bike with a 1301cc engine, five years ago.

Though they called it a 1290..   which was kinda selling it short. who knew that superstition about such things could be so apparent in Austria in 2017.

 

Though all that aside.. As its a BMW, a 200cc increase in displacement over the course of a 30 year model history is obviously an outrage.

 

definitely.

With bikes I think it depends what you want to do with them. Mines an 1100 it still returns over 60mpg on a good run and does everything I need. Cost of ownership is within my range.
