<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>140bhp, 195kg (fully-fuelled) Sportboxer is leading BMW’s assault
on an all out, no compromises sports machine.
This weekend it will be competing in one of the world’s toughest
endurance races, the Le Mans 24-hour. On track the Sport Boxer will be
up against Yamaha R1s, Suzuki GSX-R1000s and Honda Fireblades; no
small feat for an air-cooled, twin-cylinder giving away the best part of
50bhp.
The final production version of the Sport Boxer will be officially unveiled
at the Paris Motorcycle Show in September, it is predicted the bike will
cost £12,000 when it hits the showrooms in 2008
