I stopped by a local BMW dealer the other day to try and get a minor "Fix of Motorcycling" since the weather seems like it is never going to warm up.
I picked up a flyer on the R1200GS-A model and one spec really jumped out at me.
"Fuel requirement - PERMIUM Unleaded"
I have to believe the bike will still run OK on regular unleaded, but why in the hell would you make a bike that is designed to "Get out there" run it's best on Premium? I would think you would want it to run best on regular unleaded, with the ability for it to get by on something just one step about crude oil.
Just ranting, and once again marveling at good old German engineering.
Germans, we can OVER-Engineer ANYHTING.
