New BMW Bagger Model

101 mph is pretty low. But for me, it is all about the acceleration. The shear thrill of it and its use in effortless passing.

I haven't been over 100 probably more than a couple of times in the last 20 years. It's not just the obvious danger, but the risk of getting caught. I guess losing my license as a youngster has left a permanent mark.

Still, 101mph is surprisingly low. I've never had the urge to test the 124mph limit (not since I was about 20).

I agree. Top end around here will kill you real quick. But I love taking off from a stop light and watching EVERYTHING disappear in my mirrors.

...Then I immensely enjoy the astonished looks of drivers around me as they pull up next to me; at the next stoplight.

Rinse. Repeat.

My past Carpenter Racing 240hp enhanced Triumph Rocket 3 was reaaaaaaly good for that

Cool looking bike. I test rode a r3 roadster and although I liked it and thought it was a cool bike, that giant radiator up front made it seem like you were sitting behind a heat gun.
How was the 240hp version?

It got to the point where I became leery of it. Traded it in for the F5B. Before it killed me...

I remember the first couple of times I rode it after Carpenter did his work on it... the acceleration was so brutal; I had a hard time keeping my feet on the floorboards.

That flyshield btw, was custom made by a bloke in England. One of a kind. I named that bike "Hell on Wheels"...

What is this F5B you speak of?

I like the new GW without the trunk,but definitely see the need on my longer trips. So far I have a large bag that I put stuff in and go. Wonder how much effort it would take to remove the trunk on the BMW?
