MCN Feature on BCR

Just wondered if anyone else had seen the post on the MCN website calling for owners to get in touch about a forthcoming MCN feature on the Boxer Cup?

I responded to it yesterday but unsure if it's just the later BCR or the earlier Mamola which they are looking for.

No doubt the spec of the BCR once MCN is done with the article will state Ohlins suspension, just as bike magazine did.

...and an extra **bhp.

** = whatever number comes into their heads.

They did this not so long ago if my memory is correct?

Given I sent them details about mine (with Ohlins) you might be right!

I've not heard anything back from them since I sent it.

I thought I read a recent review in MCN last time I was out at the local BMW dealer (2 weeks ago?) Might have been a week or two old, at the time.

Only scanned it quickly, and couldn't steal it - cos they were watching me

They summarised with:

"We found that the RWB model was faster and generally superior to the Randy-pandy model, but both models benefitted from the fitment of rim-tape" (I'm paraphrasing.......

)

They didn't say naked pictures weren't allowed

I'm seriously interested in reading the Derbi Mulhacen feature too...
