    Default BMW MOTOGP/SUPERBIKE...its about time!

    Over the past 4 years, stories have risen about a future motogp and possible wsk from BMW. Photoshops, concepts, prototypes, all talk but nothing concrete. Here are some pics of different bikes seen around. I think the issue is the position of BMW's boxer setup. If they were to try a more coventional v2 or i4, they would be able to build a bike that can knee drag without scraping the head off!

    HP2 Sport (still a boxer~obviously)


    You can see this bike has either a conventional setup or the boxer that is horizontally opposed (less likely)


    Test mule from a while back!

    I've been to several boxer cup races. Those BMW's are slow. They will not be able to produce a bike with enough hp to compete.
