I'm not even attempting this one, so I'll just read the answers. I don't know jack about BMW's...except the cars they make that are parked at work make my beat up old chevy look like an even bigger piece of ****.

 

4 out of 10 again. If it were the cars, I might do better. The 4 I got were total guesses too. lol

 

8 out of 10. not bad I suppose, I did own one for a couple of years though.

 

8 out of 10 and one of the ones I got wrong is perhaps the easiest one. I had brick on my mind not boxer and got that one wrong. duh.

 

I did the same as Mongo... No sense in embarrassing myself.... Good ?'s though...

 

Very good test!I did 6 outta 10. I am considering a Beemer as my next toy. Been lurking on the Beemer forums for a few days and next tuesday the local dealer is getting a R1150RT for demos. Just wanta put some excitement back into the ride.

I am also looking at the Honda ST1300. But it seems from the "Other" boards that they omit an excessive amout of heat...which, living in Florida isn't a good thing!

I'll keep ya posted on the final decission...
