Looking at BMWs Number

BMW Motorrad once set goals of selling 200,000 motorcycles and having 2,000 dealers by the year 2020. At the time they set the goals, they didn't seem unreasonable, as their sales figures were steadily climbing out of the trench dug by the 2008-09 Great Recession.

VIDEO STARS

If you've ever wondered about alternatives to Schuberth's proprietary comm systems, wonder no longer! Mark Barnes decided to put a Cardo PackTalk Black into his Schuberth C4 Pro and thoughtfully took photos of each step along the way ... photos which we've turned into this handy-dandy instructional video. Enjoy Mark's soothing, comforting voice in a walkthrough that's easy to pause and use as a play-by-play accompaniment to your own install. Please note: This procedure is not sanctioned by Schuberth and may affect the warranty status of your Schuberth helmet. We can offer no tech support if something goes wrong, and Schuberth probably won't either. Undertake this operation at your own risk! Schuberth C4 Pro Carbon helmet: https://na.schuberth.shop/c4-pro-carbon-fusion/ The Cardo Systems PackTalk Black comm unit Mark refers to in this video has been discontinued. Other units in the PackTalk line are available. Cardo Systems PackTalk 2nd Helmet Kit w/Sound by JBL: https://cardosystems.com/products/packtalk-2nd-helmet-kit-with-sound-by-jbl In addition to being a regular columnist for the BMW Owners News, Mark is also the host of a podcast called "The Ride Inside," available on all major podcast platforms as well as online at https://www.bmwownersnews.com/category/moa-podcasts/.

A Quick Look at the Mosko Moto Reckless Storage System with Ron Davis
Ladies and gentlebikers, this is Doug. Doug is curious (that's good for a boy his age). He's curious about whether he should sell his R 1200 GS and buy an R 1250 GS ... or even a brandy-new R 1300 GS!! What do you think?? What would you do if you were Doug? @AmenMoto @bmwmotorrad @BMWMotorradUSA ----- This video is an edited version of an original video produced by the good folks (and MOA members) at AMENmoto, purveyors of fun and educational videos from various spots around the USA. Watch the full version of this video and many more at https://amenmoto.com. Big ups to Scott and Doug for making this video for us. If you'd like to see YOUR video right here on the MOA channel, drop us an email to submissions@bmwmoa.org and let's talk about it!
Should I buy an R 1250 GS? or an R 1300 GS? or just keep the R 1200 GS I already have?
