All this talk about the next generation RS, VVT etc - well have a look at this video from the Goodwood Festival.
Troy Corser on a 1927 supercharged boxer, hand gear change, drum brakes, hardtail rear suspension - having an absolute blast - showing its all about the rider - not the bike

I was thumbing thru Facebook last night (my time) when Mick Hooper shared a live link to the BMW R1200RS group. No idea how you do that but what a great race. Incredible machines, especially the winner.

I love the rear suspension on the BMW. It follows the current trend of building in frame flex for the best cornering.

I've been a Troy Corser fan since his Ferracci days. Hand shifter on a race bike. At least they could have put it on the left side!
