BMW tests new race bike in Valencia Spain
The two day test at Valencia was the first time that Troy Corser and team mate Ruben Xaus rode the new S1000RR and at the end both riders left in a very positive frame of mind. Both Troy and Ruben were immediately able to get right down to business and start working with the bike and start their new challenge. Fortunately the weather was good throughout the two days and the team were able to use the maximum amount of time on the track. Now the technicians will return to the workshops to analyse all the data and prepare the bikes for the next test, but the whole team is already looking forward to the next track outing.

Troy I am a bit surprised really because I didn’t think I would feel as comfortable on the bike as I did. The base is very good and although there is a lot of work to be done, I feel very positive about our prospects. Even though I have had just two days on the bike, I feel it is my bike and I wasn’t expecting that so soon. I’m happy with the progress we made over the two days and now the team have now got a lot of info and telemetry data to work with for the next test. The communication is very good and there have been no problems except that I got hit by a bird towards the end of the test. It happened between turn one and two and it hit me just under the throat, above my chest protector, and it was a pretty heavy hit. It ruined my lap and it didn’t do the bird any good either!

2009 will be a great year to watch World Super Bike Racing on TV!


BMW hires Top Enduro Talent to ride new G450X !
BMW Motorrad will be entering the 2009 World Enduro Championship (WEC) with an impressive line-up of top riders: David Knight, Juha Salminen and Marko Tarkkala will strengthen the BMW Motorrad Motorsport factory team. In the 2008 season BMW Motorrad entered all eight rounds of the world's toughest off-road motorcycle championship for the first time with the G 450 X. The bar will be raised even further in 2009.

Three top riders will enrich the team with their vast experience, high level of motivation and a strong will to succeed:

The Briton David Knight, two-time World Enduro Champion as well as two-time US Grand National Cross Country title winner. Knight is also known as being "the king of extreme enduros" with victories at the Erzberg Rodeo, the Indoor Enduro World Cup, Last Man Standing, Hell's Gate and more.

And the two Flying Finns Juha Salminen - seventeen times WEC World Champion, multiple USA, German, Spanish, Australian and Finnish Enduro Champion as well as multiple Finnish and European motocross and trial champion title winner and Marko Tarkkala, runner-up in class E3 of the WEC 2008, double Finnish Enduro Champion.

The BMW Motorrad factory enduro team will be one of the strongest teams at the World Enduro Championship in 2009 - a force to be reckoned with.


Your Norcal BMW Dealers have teamed up to display the 2009 lineup at the International Motorcycle Show in San Mateo. We hope you can make it! The show is Dec19th -Dec 21st.

John W, Gail, and Dirk will be splitting time during the weekend festivities. We hope to see you there!
