Title: New BMW Enduro Bike
Post by: Bob_Roller on July 08, 2008, 01:38:43 PM

I was looking at Craigslist, and saw an ad for a BMW G 450 X, enduro bike.

The BMW site doesn't have much info on this bike.

Looks like a single cylinder water cooled engine.

Finally BMW is breaking out into a new market, that will bring more interest in their bikes.

With the current escalation in costs of fuel around the world these days, maybe they will see a need for smaller entry level bikes in the 450-500 cc range.

...And made in China to boot!

No longer does Aprilla build motors and co-op construction with BMW on the G-series "pseudo BMWs".  They'll be in your local Pep Boys showroom soon... right alongside the Honda clone-powered Chinese putt-putts.

Stick with your airhead boxers, boys n' girls. Their values just went up.
