Bill_Walker Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 WSB, eh? That means it has to be production-based, so we can be expecting a new 1000cc BMW very soon now! Very Interesting... Link to comment

Tim Yip Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Hopefully, BMW will be more successful than Harley-Davidson's ill-fated attempt to be competitive in AMA Superbike years ago. It's always nice to see a new player in racing. Link to comment

Sailorlite Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 What advantages does BMW bring to this series? Aren't they going to get clobbered by the Japanese brands? This isn't the series Ducati competes in, is it? Link to comment
bmwterry Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 Yes, they compete and are defending champs with Troy Bayliss as the pilot of the 999. It looks as though Honda will win this year, but the rules for next year are changed to allow the 1098 Duc. Link to comment

JohnBeaven Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I should imagine that BMW are more concerned about what advantage this brings to them. I should think that the more competitive manufactures the better the series should become. Link to comment

I should think that the more competitive manufactures the better the series should become. Should think? Should imagine? What are you talking about? I just stated an opinion, not trying to figure out what motivation BMW has. Link to comment
