Desmosedici RR? (197hp, according to technical specs).

Granted the price tag isn't the most appealing thing in the world.

ETA: Ah damn, reading comprehension FTW. I missed the *rwhp* part... nevermind. Carry on.

No. When I say BMW, I mean more along the R1200GS variety.

Although, I do like the idea of handing the Busa down to Carolina. I can't promise it won't have 100k by the time she gets it though.

I'm partial to air cooled twins. They sound better.
