Stoffregen said that the rumour that BMW-motorrad is talking to the Castiglioni's regarding an aquisition of Husqvarna most likely is a financial rumour that originates from Italy. There is no plans at BMW to aquire a whole company to speed up any developments. Stoffregen argues that BMW would most likely develop new models in new segments themselves. During the last 2-3 years BMW have proved that it can do pretty much what it likes in terms of R&D. Examples are the high speed K 1200 S with a super powerful in-line four engine and the F 800 series with brand new parallell twin engines.

BMW also confirmed that there will be another F 800 model that we will see in the second half of 2007.

We are expecting a naked version of the half faired F 800 S. It was not confirmed that this model will be called F 800 R, but this is the most likely path for BMW to take with the F 800.

In our 2006 interview with Dr. Diess he said that 2007 would be the year of the 800. This is from a sales point of view as BMW expects to sell more 800's than anything else in 2007.

No MotoGP involvement or anything else involving 800cc race bikes. BMW even expect the F 800 series to outsell the new G 650 X series. We mentioned that BMW-Motorrad Director Dr. Herbert Diess had been seen talking to Claudio Castiglioni in Milan. BMW told us that the two meet regularely through their involvement in the European Manufacturers union. And that is all there is to it.

Next informations from Italians, soon.

About www.motorcyclists-online.com English version:
At the beginning, in 2001, www.motorcyclists-online.com was an exclusive French Motorcycle website. Now, since September 2005, it has become bilingual: English speaking people are welcome !
We do believe, at www.motorcyclists-online.com, that linguistic boundaries are not a problem when we share the same passion for bikes.
We are currently working on translating all articles and contents, to finish the UK/US version. You will certainly notice some bugs or translation errors: please do not hesitate to advise us by e-mail, Private Message or by posting in the Forum. Your help is welcome !
For the moment, articles which haven’t been human translated are automatically machine translated, which I must confess is not really famous, but faster than human translators.
