What sort of fuckwit will buy a brand new, untested and massively changed new model straight out of the crate on day 1?

BMW test dummies and shallow 'gotttahavethelatestthing' fashionistas:blast


The WC mk3 might be a good bike, after the 36 recalls, two model changes and their own 30 recalls each.

Buy a WC in it's first year?

More money than fecking sense.....don't come moaning here about how unreliable it is, how your poor little leggies got scalded by hot water or ask what sort of antifreeze you should put in, or you will get exactly what you deserve :rob
 
"liquid cooling" .............

Not exactly Dilithium Crystal Drive, or "Jet-assist"................ :rolleyes:

Some fuckwit with a load of disposable cash and the need to have brand new things all the time... Probably caters for a good proportion of the population here...

Personally, I believe that we should all bow our heads and fervently thank God for the beta-testers. They make it so much better for the more rational and sedate buyers among us! :rob

If they have the money to dump on an untested, most likely problem-plagued first year model, then more power to 'em, I say. Better them than me! :thumb
 
I'm always amazed when people dash out and buy a new model. A motoring journalist (it might have been James May) wrote a column on the subject once.

He pointed out that what manufacturers do is sell a sub-standard product. We know that within two years BMW will have modified the WC. Not just addressed problems, it will have a little more power or produce it's torque lower in the range etc.

They'll expect people to believe that all the incremental changes for the better were discovered after the initial launch and few will question that assumption. They want people to believe that the WC will be the best that they could make it.

That's bollocks. The best they can make is already designed and production-ready. They just won't build it until six years have elapsed.

Buy a very late air-cooled model, it will be better than the new bike, at least until the next major model change at which point BMW will release the bike they could have sold years before.
