Boxer King and Boxer Ultra

[hlothery]

Can't wait to see the new bikes which will surely come out of the purchase of HD by BMW AG. The Boxer King, a Road King chassis with a hexhead engine, and the penultimate Boxer Ultra are surely not far away. Can't wait to see them. :whistle

I'm waiting for the K1300 Agusta S! :eek

I'm just excited at the prospect that I can get a biker tattoo that will be BMW Hog appropriate.

And what about gangs? Will there be horizontally opposed branches of the Hell's Angels?

But on a serious note, were this to ever happen, let us hope the new company retains the Harley marketing team.

Another big question is, with a German engine/tranny and all those current Chinese parts, will Milwaukee have to pay an import duty?:dunno

Nice April Fools guys.......enjoyed it.

What happens in a merger of course is that you get the worst of everything.

So look for an airhead side stand, oilhead final drive, old K bike whine, no dealers, arrogant parent company....now start adding Screaming Eagle mufflers, Dyna Glide brakes, handlebar tassles...........Well you get the picture.

Good thing it's an April Fool's joke..............Rod.

i had boxer king for lunch

My wallet will stay in the left hip pocket, as always. Not on a chain.

Keys will go in another pocket, not hanging on the belt.

There'll be a throttle-blip eliminator, so we don't have to hear brap, brap, brap at every red light.

With a boxer engine, the idle won't sound like: pathetic, pathetic, pathetic, pathetic.

:blah :blah :blah :blah

No matter what they do, you know they will close dealerships.

I think you have it backwards. BMW has made every style of engine except the V twin style of HD. They had a good thing for a long time with the horizontally opposed twins and the verticle singles. then they lost there way and started with an inline 3 and 4 that had already laid over as though ready for death. Then they fooled with a verticle twin and some other modifications to the horizontal opposed twin.

So all that really is left is to go to a V twin such as the Harley and set it in a BMW frame. Makes perfect sense to a company that seems to have lost it's way.

I agree with Rod in saying that we would probably end up with the worst of both worlds. Just what we need: the only 30 thousand dollar motorcycle on the planet that could suffer a catastrophic final drive failure while being transported on a trailer.
