From "Naked" to "Urban"

Post by munchmeister »

Just noticed that BMW Motorad US site now has the R1200R and the K1200R listed under a new category, replacing "Naked." Now they are called "Urban."

Somehow I don't see that as an improvement or even good marketing. And I REALLY don't see the K1200R screaming meemee of a bike as an "urban" bike, unless you live on the Nurburgring (sp) :shock:

BTW, here is a good video of a BMW M3 GTR going around the track, complete with sound and inset window of the driver. Cool !! :shock:
