Friday Arvo

AutoClassic BMW released the new BMW S 1000 HP4 Race.

Words are seriously lacking... 215 HP powering only 167 kg wet!

And with the ShiftCam Technology, it even has torque below a million rpm! That's what the dyno curve says anyhow... A beautifully crafted weapon for race-track adventures. No pix?

The street version ONLY pumps 207 HP. What a slug...

Stunt rider Lukey Luke failed to punt his stunt F800 around due to a rare bingle he encountered earlier. The bruises were quite real, not trendily tattoo'ed on...



Billy Ward (AKA Billy Biketruck, Charley Boorman’s manager) from the Long Way Round group entertained us with numerous hilarious tales from the road. If you get a chance to hear his story-telling, listen and laugh out loud... He also promoted his Morroco tours with Charlie Boorman in May. Billy and Lukey Luke were putting in an appearance at the York Motorcycle Festival too.



NOTE: HP4 Race in the background behind the F800...
