Is it a 1200? Big air cooled Beemer adv with factory aluminum bags.

It's a 1200. When BMW was about to introduce the water cooled engine, rumors were swirling that they'd bump the displacement to a 1250.

I have had quite a few bikes twice or three times. I had three KLR6XX's, three FZR400s, two 1983 VF750F's, two 1986 VFR750F's. Usually not concurrently, but sometimes.

BMW has said that 1200 is the limit for their flat twin engine. If they make the displacement larger, the heads get bigger and then that effects ground and cornering clearance.

The VFR is the bike I've had twice, well, actually, three times.
Bought a 1992 VFR750 and told myself I would NEVER sell her.Blush
That was until I rode a 2001 VFR that my friend was selling... and I HAD TO HAVE IT.Tongue
In a moment of stupidity, I sold my 2001 VFR...Huh
So, I replace the 2001 with a 2000 VFR... and lived happily ever after. Wink

The CB750 is and was always my 1st real love so i bought three.
1st one was a pretty 69 model that was stolen from me while in Vietnam so i bought a K4 and now own a K6 and ride it almost as much as the CB1100A K10
also loved my 75 GL1000 Goldwing so much i bought a 78 GL1000 and then a 93 GL1500 which was a brick.
also loved the Honda 350's enough to own 3 CB350's and two CL350's

you know , some guys remarry their Ex wives so what the heck is that all about?
