Re: BMW 1000XR

Re: New Africa Twin in MCN today

It may be wishful thinking but I have a suspicion that this will come in as one of the lightest in this class. The prototype certainly looked more Greyhound than Labrador They already have the cross-country cruiser thing covered so it would make sense to move toward the function end of the spectrum....
