Wonderful Review and great pics too.
Glad to hear that it is a very practical bike for our Indian conditions, the lack of heating and FE was a surprise.
Also loved the fact that the bike would almost go unnoticed as compared to the otherwise asymmetric styled bikes from BMW
Cheers

Thanks.Originally posted by satyajitrc View PostSame here was eagerly waiting for the Review KEN-da. Just ASADHARON!!!
Some queries though KEN-da,
1. Keyhole below rear Tail Lamp
2. Exhaust on the left so any pillion issues
3. Pictures of Dashboard is missed
4. Headlight details and DRLs
Yes pictures are awesome and only f1.8 & f2.8 can do
justice to this.
1. Keyhole is the seat release!
2. Pillion had NO issues!
3. More pictures coming.
4. Dual H11, 55Watt bulbs. It is actually the quality and design of the reflector that makes the light strong and well spread exactly where you need it!
Thanks Mav.Originally posted by mav1234 View PostFinally I can see powerful torquey PRACTICAL bike in India.
The boxer engines are no doubt class apart..
Thanks Ken Da for the wonderful Pictures and a good Verdict.
PS : Once a Beemer Admirer, Always a Beemer Admirer..
Boxer engines are very different indeed.The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

Ah it hurts!!!
I wish this beamer was available before I bought the Bandit. No regrets with the Bandit queen but end of the day a beamer is a beamer. Specs show she is a torque queen similar to bandit. Yeah a beamer ridability in traffic will be much better compared to the hard handles of a bandit. Just loved everyline of this article; amazing pics ken.
I wish I could buy it right now ; don't wanna say never coz you never know what happens.
