huh? I don't get this - Beemer engines are already relative cheap (well, in comparison to a Weslake or a Trident).
Don't think Guzzi engines are any cheaper and tuning-costs of BMW and Guzzi would be around the same I would guess?

correcto mundo Dennis! Piet Kramer has been racing, first solo´s and later sidecars, since 1967.
And yes it is amazing but he still finds new volunteers every time...
