    Should BMW be worried?

    Found this elsewhere. Seems that Yamaha have come up with an off-road scooter in response to calls from scooter riders after the floods in Thailand.

    So, do you reckon BMW should be worried?

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    If they're taking the piss then it's a very good job indeed.
