To be fair when we were 23 BMWs were cool, I'd still like an Orange R90RS (the one with the little bikini fairing) e

Oddly - I saw one of those only yesterday.

Good to hear it hadn't been turned into yet another cafe racer

It did indeed look and sound absolutely standard (and tidy). (well - it rode past me through a village so I only caught a brief glimpse)

Whilst the bike might have been, I have never been 'cool'

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

I found my FZR400RR very uncomfortable after 20 minutes of riding, and I'm 54

My first BMW was aged 20

To be fair it was bought as a work bike as i was a courier at the time and my tuned RD250LC wasnt going to cut it on the long run deliveries

I'm 60 & I don't ever remember BMW's being cool.They were thought of as the bike of choice for the Dayglo Derek's & pipe slippers brigade...

I'm 63 but I'll never be old enough to buy a BMW

I had a green/silver one when I was in my 30s,but I'm alright now.

I'm 53 and my cbr1000rr is awesome for 20 minutes out of every hour when I can nap for the other 40 minutes.

It’s not what you ride it’s how you ride it that makes it exciting or boring, some non BMW riders can’t even wheelie, now that’s the definition of boring

A tale about my mate Beedubya:

He had an early K100LT (with the 'spoiler' screen, for the cognoscenti) in horrible cowpat green. He also had an old Porsche and was a member of the owners club. One Sunday afternoon he was heading off to a get-together of motorcycle-owning club members. On the way, he caught up with some sports bikes, whizzing along dual carriageways but wobbling around roundabouts. He got bored, passed them, and carried on.

Into the pub car park, bike on stand, helmet off ... and in turned the sportsbikes.

"We thought those BMWs didn't handle" said one owner.

"They don't" said Beedubya.

He was probably in his 70s then
