Re: Further engine mods
It will no doubt interest you to know that BMW have also decided that the K-brick has reached the end of the road. The British paper Motor Cycle News printed an article a couple of months ago from sources inside the BMW factory which said that development was well under way on a successor which will be a water cooled flat four of around 1400 to 1500cc, producing a lot more power and torque than the present engines. It is common knowledge that BMW originally intended the K series to be a flat four but went back to the drawing board after Honda announced the Gold Wing because they didn't want everyone to accuse them of copying Honda. Now that the Wing is a six BMW can go back to their original idea but with updated technology. Should be interesting!
