    Depending on who you are, and how you look at it. Those are two good reasons TO call it a Wethead!:lol3

    Wethead is Ok as such but why the totaltarian dogmatic decision by a few or for that one?
    It's a German bike but it's not 1939, whatever you do don't mention the war!!!!
    Put it to a vote with a deadline.
    Moderating is not forcing your views upon others, or is it?

    The hell - someone do more to your cherrios this morning than piss in them?

    T'were anything up for a vote I'd go for something referencing the spork. Or combine them like Wasser spork or would that be spork-wasser?

    Id wanted to make a reference to the fork tailed devil (Lockheed P-38) but couldn't quite get fork nosed devil to come out in German.

    I am sorry, Sir, to tell you that battle is over, and if you aren't a wethead, you lost.

    Don't believe me?

    Now that looks awesome! Thanks for taking the effort to create the chart. It looks even more impressive on the graph than it did in a table. :D By the way, as long as you are photoshopping, can you fix the axis labels which Web Bike World screwed up?

    Seriously guys type in Wethead in Google images and see what kind of pictures come up, then try the same for Wasserboxer. Wethead doesn't make any sense at all if you ask me; at least Camhead made sense :wink:

    Actually my suggestion was Woxer (pronounced Voxer), but I don't really care, just wish we could get back to some real talk about the bike itself.

    Now again , if you combine this chart that showed up in BMW literature

    [​IMG]

    and then use same chart for older model from Web bike world

    [​IMG]

    and then

    first correct mistakes that they did by swithing labels on axis ( thanks EJ 92606 .. )

    then

    adjust for diferent spans of rpm , adjust the scale and do it just a bit more precisely than I tried before

    it looks something like this

    Me like it !!! :evil
