A simple flick of the wrist sends a bullet rush of adrenaline coursing through your body. With 98 horses of pure Boxer power on tap, that's to be expected. As is amazingly agile and refined handling, thanks to the advanced Telelever suspension and power train. And you can hardly ignore the quick-stopping triple disc brakes. Add to that trick looks, and you might just need to take a ride through a cold rain shower to cool off.
