In my group, we have elected to stick with the 4 Japanese manufactures. While I support my club’s decision, I don’t think anybody around here has any problem with the Northeast clubs taking the initiative to try this motor. I think it’s good that someone is trying it & I will definitely be following their progress to see how it performs.

My concern is how the BMW has some similar characteristics to the zx12 (lower availability and higher horsepower). When the zx12 reigned supreme, the availability started declining and the prices increased, & we all know it ultimately started doing more harm than good. We don’t know if the BMW will go down that path, but it is safer to err on the side of caution for now while nobody has a BMW yet. Keep in mind, clubs can always legalize the BMW later on at any point in time, but once you allow it, there’s basically no going back.

Ok DAD take it away….
