Yep. Serious lack of competition at that race. Nice BMW press release.

I still have reservations about that bike.

Countershaft co-located with the swingarm pivot is not a good idea on a dirtbike. Crank-mounted clutches have proven to be bad ideas on other bikes, plus, it's placed way out in the breeze out front.

Lemme know when they win against Salimnen, Knight, etc.
