hoss314 0 Posted February 25, 2010 Passed a Beemer or two on about 3 times broke down on the DD. Sunday, we rode past a couple of guys and a fallen Beemer that had left one hell of a divit in the trail from the cylinder on the left side of the bike. Rode up to the rest of his buddies and there was a long laundry list of damages to the bike being explained. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bikeslut 1 Posted February 25, 2010 Wil- short answer is "no"...final drive failure is akin to the doohickey on KLRs...not THAT frequent, but catastrophic when it does As far as the BMW on the dash- no matter how you look at it, its a 500 pound, 1200 cc bike ...somethings gotta give. I made the weight up in my head, but it wouldn't surprise me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
650hucker 0 Posted February 25, 2010 Oh, Ok. Dry weight of the R1200GS is 491 lbs. So yeah, 500 lbs at least falling...something's gotta break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rode up to the rest of his buddies and there was a long laundry list of damages to the bike being explained. I think that if I tried to ride one of those 500lb bikes on dash-like trails you would be passing me while I am making my list of damages to both me and the bike!
