[QUOTE="101stpathfinder, post: 1114678, member: 18625"] I think it is a positive statement. I think they probably got that info from this forum rather than the IBA site. It is a good sign that they have their collective ears to the walls. If I put out a product, I would love real time praises and gripes about it. What better way to build a better product is there? Look at the mechanical DNFs in the rally. FJR is truly a great long distance platform. I also agree with FredW. I am waiting for a gen 3 in the same way. All kidding aside, the different generations finishing was in direct proportion to the number entered. The more experienced rally riders tend to have gen 1 because that's what they started with. More experience tends to be an advantage. And it seems the Gen 1s are just plain hard to kill to move to a newer gen 2 or 3. (Just ask my 08 still sitting waiting for its turn) BMW riders should be concerned, or open minded enough to make the change. BMW had more bikes in the IBR, but our riders seemed to have fared better. Draw your own conclusions! They fork big $ over to stay loyal to their line. Note: after reading another forum's observation; If you look at the background you will see the official IBR banner was used as a backdrop. They clearly must have been in contact with the IBA.
