The Soul of the Motorcycle
The headline read,"More power, more technology, more exciting"; to describe the newest motorcycle from BMW. Well I don't have a problem with the exciting part but the first two I think we really don't need.
Come on! 175 hp for a street bike. Where I live the speed limit is 65 mph. The motorcycle companies keep making bikes with more and more power, when I can only use a third of it legally.
Electronic Shift Assistant, Electronic Suspension Adjustment, Anti Spin Control, Tire Pressure Monitor and ABS. I am not against technology to a point but I fear that motorcycle companies could be engineering the soul out of motorbikes.
What will all these bells and whistles set you back? The premium package comes in at $17,500.
Now thats progress.
