Surprised to come across a BMW 1600 B.
Shades of the BMW 1200 C where the US market was the sole reason for the design.
How long before we see one at Catalano's?

Bozo,
Going on looks alone I reckon if the "Bagger" arrives on our shores it may give the Honda 6B a run for it's money.
It looks mint plus it's a BMW

Super looking bit of kit.
If only our speed limits allowed use beyond first gear

Dropped into Auto Classic to see the Bagger.
Very clean lines.

Will try to get a ride some fine day.

Bozo,
I went to Auto Classic today to take a look at the Bagger. It's a magnificent looking machine, great for long distance cruising for some of our club heavy weights to recline in
However it's not for me, my true love is the R1200RS and just waiting for my numbers to come up trumps
