Rated by who? If you look at the BMW marketing collateral since 1985 -
why by gosh, they all seem to be rated at 100hp! In the April 1991
issue, Cycle measured the 4-valve on the Kerker dyno and got a max bhp of
82.9. I seem to remember when they did the California 2-valve they got 
a max of around 75 which puts the Eurospec '85 around the same hp as the 
4-valve (which matches my subjective opinion riding my bike with the Luft
pipe along with friends on the newer bikes).

Another factoid that's needed to make any kind of relevant
comparison is the traffic density on these roads.

Never been in Germany, but I find it hard to believe the traffic
density is as high as it is on California freeways.

	I followed two HD riders on a trip to take my bike home to Nova Scotia

	and pass when a passing lane presents itself, or the dotted yellow

	taking enourmaous unessesary risks passing on double yellows, near
	turns.  I would wait and catch up properly (no problem on Maxim 650).
	Eventually, as my trip was going to be a few hundred more miles, I 
	wanted to get past them on a big straight section.  I passed the 
	2nd hog, legally (except at 140km/hr), and he sure as hell didn't like
	that idea.  SO he passes me on my right, in a single lane.  Maybe it's
	OK in LA, or whereever, but it's not good practice around here, and by 
	the time he was passing me, we were off the straight part.  I thought

Of course not, you know better than to trust a Denizen. Does he really
expect you to believe that Aerostich is selling something that's really
just a glorified bandanna that's made out of Goretex, backed with poly
fleece or ultrasuede, and secures with velcro? Or that the new Aerostich
catalog offers them in 12 colors (including Hot Pink for the high
visibility crowd) instead of just navy?

How about another tall tale? They also sell "Wind Bands" in 3"x20" and
4"x23" sizes, again in 12 color & 2 lining choices.

One more for the road? The "Wind Scarf" (6"x44") is being closed out,
$7 for fleece, and $10/12 (depending on which page of the catalog you
read) for ultrasuede.

Aerostich has a word for folks that believe tales like this.  "Customer"

>7) Have you considered using Mobil-1 for improved engine efficiency?

Actually, I saw what I belive was a Castrol Syntex commerical where
they filled the engine, then drained it, and the Syntex treated engine
kept running!  If I saw it during "Rosanne", it must be true.  This
would save you considerable weight.

8) Replace rear shocks with those plastic "slinkies", they are much
   lighter, and probably just as efficient.

9) Get a Corbin seat.  It will have *much* less foam in it than whatever
   stock seat you might have, giving you both less weight and less wind
   resistance.

10) Remove all that silly plastic body work, or get an BWM R100GS or R.  
    The BMW has the addtional feature of having these two really big 
    cylinders, only one of which is really needed to make the bike go.  
    If you're pretty sure you won't need the spare, you can just take it 
    off. If you remove one of your legs, I'd recommend removing the 
    cylinder on the opposite side, this should allow you to ride without
    'hanging off' all the time.  Of course, it also has the disadvantage
    of not having as much horsepower as the P51 engine, so I'd recommend
    the GS frame with the P51 engine.  Plenty of room for it.

When I got my Hurricane in '89, I bought a Solo battery operated radar
detector and a magnetic tank bag.  I then had some tough elastic fabric
sewed to the top of the bag such that I could slide the Solo into it
snugly.  It worked great.  The Solo was loud enough below highway speeds.

I have recently given up the tank bag so I'm going to see about mounting
the Solo some other way.

Perhaps that's true in an ideal world, but at least the early GS series

The head nuts on my '91 CB750 are already developing a beautiful case

it outside...

The only thing I'd like is a non-electronic ignition option.  (Yes,
I'm aware of the problems with points -- I've put a gazillion miles on VW

Go to a good BMW dealership and dig through their catalog.  6 speed
gearbox?  Cop options? 4 or 5 different sets/styles of luggaege?
Different heads?  Different cranks?  "This could just go on
forever..."

Is this a trick question? They are made by Cincinatti Microwave, who sell
them exclusively factory mailorder (Damark sells refurbished ones). Look in any
