True, the beemer is the perfect embodiment of "find something you're good at and stick to it." They put their effort into a killer ad campaign, and don't waste any time worrying about Sunday's results.

Learned something new today: Bimmer is for cars, Beemer is for bikes.

You apparently haven't been watching SBK lately. They were leading and finished 2 and 4 in the single race at Monza.

They have Melandri and Haslam riding for them this year. They are really making an effort in SBK now.

The Stock BMW is also the fastest stock bike on the market right now I believe. You have to make some changes to Busa and ZX14 to get them faster.

The BMW won Canadian Superbike, last season, with Brett McCormick aboard.

Haslam led 2 laps so far this year, Melandri has led 0. I think you may be over-hyping it a wee bit there, Trip.

Don't tell that to Panigale worshippers.
They get all pissy if you don't call it the fastest most advanced bike ever to appear in the world. To say a stock BMW is the fastest is to invite a slappy fight.

They are getting better. I am not saying they are going to win a championship, but the program is definitely improving.

I've been watching... Tom Sykes whoop that ass :P

Assen was borderline Hilarious with BMW after BMW getting to the front and going for a tumble. Best chance ruined. Have they finally wised up and started using magnetti marelli? Or are they still thinking their homegrown shit works better?

Ride a Triumph, I haven't locked mine up the 8 or whatever years I've been riding it and nobody's touched it. Well except for the turd that kicked my 675 over for no apparent reason.

They about had an epic day. Should of been two 1-2 or at least a 1 if Melandri hadn't run wide. Rea punted Haslam pretty hard, wonder if we will see payback.

They are definitely doing a lot better.

Racing between teams is making this year look like a good one.

A few years ago I would have said no as they were popular track/race bikes, but not as much now.
