Ducati traded in at noon today for a 2004 BMW 1100 S. Gray and mandarin with rear saddle bags. Got the bike from Main Line BMW Motorcycles in Devon, PA.

Yeah, some do get bent out of shape about that distinction. I generally don't use either and just call them BMW's. I have wondered where that distinction came from. Anyone know?

I think in the past two or three years the Roundel had an article about it. As I recall, the two different names started independently. That is to say, nobody ever said, "We gotta call the bikes one thing and the cars anothert".

I.myself, have a tendency to call all BMW vehicles "Beamers". Just an old bad habit I picked up when I had BMW motorcycles in the 70's and 80's.

popped up a page worth of links; one below from BMWCCA with the haughty bimmer for cars and beemer for sleds. Bimmer always sounded a lil' Biff&Babs for me, so I'm w/Trex and call 'em beamers. I must hang with the not cool/foo-foo crowd, lol! Ol'UncleMotorDavid

I don't need the 168 hp. And a transverse motor? Something else to consider - if you think BMW automobiles are tough to own in the first model year, I am hearing some real horror stories about the 1200 GS.

I had boxer Beamers years ago and I'm ready for fewer endearing quirks and less fiddling.

But nothing will ever replace the sound of that Ducati.
