BMW Oil head boxer road test & review is it better than a Guzzi ? 4K

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

BMW's oil heads, they are great bikes, but wht did we make of the late model 850 over a six month period ?
Is the 850 engine big enough or should you find something bigger ?
Is BMW build quality as good as they say ?

    Nice bike I'd say. Seems to ride and handle nice. I could see myself owning one of those. Thanks for sharing. Ride safe all and take care. Cheers

    Riding a R1150r for 15 years now I remember my first months on this bike, constantly honking when intending to to switch off the indicator. You get used to it :) btw, the telelever suspension was one of the reasons I wanted a BMW

    I like the styling of both models, but as an Airhead fan I'll stick with my old R80. 170,000 on the clock and still going strong!

    I Another great vid! I don’t like the new overpriced high tech BM’s but I loved my old R850. I owned it for 10 years and preferred the more retro styling of the early model. The more you ride then the better they get! 😊

    Oh I see To be honest we didn’t push our luck with because BMW have a rep for not leaving too much margin. It did go 20-30k I think. Tank range overall was pretty good despite it being used by Tom in France, he’s young and can have a heavy right wrist. We hit saw around the 300k mark Relying on memory a little because it was last summer

    I like the idea of the front suspension but have never ridden one. I have to admit that the air heads that I have ridden made my feet feel claustrophobic being that close to the cylinders.
