More Compettition for BRP -- GGTaurus

[gypsy_100]

This was referenced in the Oct '14 issue of "Road Runner" -- the GGTaurus superbike reverse trike made in Switzerland. Features 1300cc four-cylinder BMW engine with 170 HP, six-speed transmission, top speed governor-limited to 137mph. Sounds like a very expensive trike for the few.

The official site is here: http://ggtaurus.com/

However it's only a teaser, no info. They had one on display at Bob's BMW which is a really big BMW dealer in MD and he has posted pic's (bigger and better than shown below) and specs here:

Here's a few photos from the 'net:

Stay Tuned.

but this one has been around for a while. Your right way to expensive and without many of our features...

I got to ride one at Spyderfest. Cool but not comfortable, not that it was ever intended to be a touring machine. I knew I couldn't afford to buy it if I crashed it so I took it pretty easy.

These date from 2010.
Here is Part One.

...And here is Part Two

It sounds good.

[Bob Denman]

I just kind of wish that the price wasn't so... ... impossible!

Yep, kind of like the planes, log homes etc. we mentioned in another thread. Although here, a little bit less.

[Jim&Teresa]

Wow, the 1300 cc in-line 4 engine produces 175HP and 140 lb ft of torque! I wonder how long the rear tire will last on this one!

[Bob Denman]

If you can afford the bike; the tires must seem pretty reasonable!

[BikerDoc]

You can buy a stable of Spyders for the price of one of these and it looks uncomfortable to sit on unless you like your chest dented...

[swrafey2000]

That is Doc and Forrest's bike. They had it at a bike convention in Minnasota and then took it to Maryland. If you ask Forrest I'm sure he'll give you all the info you want. It feels the same as sitting on my GS

[Bob Denman]

The "Outriggers" are just for storage; right?
Although for that kind of money; it'd be nice if they also floated!

You caught me. Guilty as charged. I was impressed by the spec's and photos on Bob's BMW site and anxious to post it. Didn't do my due diligence and search SL for previous threads on it. Oh well, if that's the biggest mistake I made yesterday, I'm in great shape!

A ride, eh? I always knew you were special Ann, but now I know you're REALLY special.

[swrafey2000]

You got to ride it! I will be having a conversation with Forrest since all I got to do was sit on it and watch it tear up my grass as he left.

But you can almost hear the fd failing....aren't those the years they died routinely?

[Kratos]

I tried to buy one a month ago, and contacted every entity I could from their website to dealers, etc.........and NO ONE got back with me on it. I sent emails, left voicemails......nothing.

That really scared me when thinking about customer support if I ever needed anything.

[Bob Denman]

Why not contact Doc or Forrest through here?
They could get you pointed in the right direction!

Did that too.........nothing.

[Bob Denman]

That ain't good...
Unless the dealerships are "Self-Service", and you're allowed to just ride off with one, after leaving an envelope full of cash on the desk!

Very Interesting... I wonder what's broke?

Hey Bob.. like your thought on " self Service " does that include Shop time at the dealers??? LOL or is the local robot taking up where people left off.

[Bob Denman]

It would save chunks of money, that would otherwise be spent on needless manpower...

[MidTNDawg]

That is Doc and Forrest's bike. They had it at a bike convention in Minnesota

It was the BMW MOA Int'l Rally. The attendance was very disappointing. Bob Henig and I agreed their numbers were over-stated (to say the least).

[effgjamis]

I guess it is still broke.....
