Welcome to Oilheads & Hexheads!

Post by The Veg »

Since I'm so unapologetic about my enthusiasm for the high-tech Boxers, I may as well get this section off the ground.

So who wants to start an oil thread? :D

OMG!!!!!

I can't believe there's an Oilhead forum at Boxerworks! Next thing you know, there'll be a K-bike forum.



Wait:

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



So, when is the F650 forum starting up? ;)

So, Veg, have you ridden the R1200R? I rode one and was amazed. It is nearly as light as my Duc was and has 20 more HP. It's ridiculously overpriced for a standard, but it has me VERY interested in the used market. Course, it's only been made for a couple years.

To expand on The Major's comment, I think it might be prudent to have an area for modern singles & non-boxer twins (F,G, and X models) which I would lump all together since I doubt that they'll get much traffic here, based on the fact that the singles have their own playground with The Chain Gang and there just aren't a whole lot of X's out there.
