Its certainly come a log way from my original Speed Triple 900. That I had in 1995. it was £7,500. forgive the brochure photo. its all I have left of that bike, the original brochure. I loved that bike, until that black day in 1997 when I took it in for a service and needed a courtesy bike and the evil and rather cunning dealer gave me a BMW R1100GS for the day. The Speed triple was traded in a week later. and I was on a BMW, even though I was far too young to be riding one at just 35 years of age. unwritten rules - see.

Simon Davey Posted June 6, 2024 Posted June 6, 2024 I look at my local BMW used stock at least twice per week, now that I'm old enough. Just can't raise the reddies.... Quote

But before about 2001. BMWs were mostly classed as “Old Men’s Bikes” - especially if it had a Boxer engine. That stereotype was beginning to slip with bikes like the Funduro. But that was definitely an odd one out. There was nothing even remotely cool about the brand. Slow. Uninspiring. Expensive. Were the usual terms used. With the ‘so called’ sports bikes being viewed mostly as an underpowered heavy joke. I doubt that anyone. No owner. Nobody inside of BMW even. Would ever have thought even for a moment that a Bike like the GS might ever be popular or that they would ever produce something like the S1000R. And then a TV series was broadcast and everything changed. Almost overnight. Edited June 6, 2024 by Gerontious 2 Quote
Simon Davey Posted June 6, 2024 Posted June 6, 2024 Apparently, the GS is the best selling bike the world over. 1 Quote

Nick the wanderer Posted June 6, 2024 Posted June 6, 2024 I always thought KTM's were unreliable and if they were to use them it would expose just that. We'll never know of course but l think they dodged a bullet. The ones Henry Cole had in South Africa were always breaking down. 1 Quote
