The article says that BMW says it’s temporary. Maybe they found some kinks in the gas bikes that have to be worked out.

The Germans are jealous of our garages. They want them burned down.

It's an issue with the evaporative emissions system. Not a safety or performance issue, just a federal emissions compliance issue.

BMW of North America is dedicated to providing vehicles to our customers that meet their expectations. To ensure that our vehicles are of the highest industry standards, BMW performs ongoing testing and evaluation.

Following a recent quality analysis, BMW is pursuing measures to further evaluate the material used in a component of its motorcycle evaporative system, which may not have been produced to material specifications.

As a result, BMW of North America is issuing a temporary, voluntary stop sale for all new and pre-owned BMW motorcycle models in dealer inventory, except for the CE 04.

This temporary stop sale is not safety related and BMW owners may continue to ride their motorcycles as normal.

Upon hearing this news, the management at Honda decided to celebrate with a very long lunch break of all-you-can-eat sushi and all-you-can-drink sake.

Has to do with the charcoal cannister for the evap system. That’s one of those things that gets ripped out and the tubing back to the throttle bodies gets cut and plugged the first time you tear your bike apart.

You’ll all be forced into driving electrical appliances which will also eventually be regulated out of existence as well. Severely limit freedom of movement/travel which is all part of their plan to put everyone on public transportation.

Maybe BMW should do something about the breaking frames. BMWs are more likely to have problems than HarleyDavidsons.

Okay; Bayerische Motoren Werke is abandoning the US motorcycle market. Their funeral.

Gotta love when it a brand self-implodes. Actually helps the consumer make choices.
