Perhaps one day I will make it a military style bike.<\/p>\n<p>Overall the bike is well past the breaking in stage and is running smooth. I have had it up to 110-115kph, though the speedometer was shaky at this speed and it was hard to exactly determine 100%.<\/p>\n<p>The bike gives a very smooth ride. The speed the bike likes to travel is at: 40, 60, 80 and 100kph. On the upper end I find it settles in at 100kph, but takes a bit of time to reach it. The main speed I tend to travel if driving it is 80 &#8211; 85kph. I moved to the states and many of the local roads are around 45 &#8211; 55mph which this bike speed meshes well. I come from a metric origin, so I prefer these units.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/clev.ca\/BMW\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/BMW_R26.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-291\" alt=\"BMW_R26\" src=\"http:\/\/clev.ca\/BMW\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/BMW_R26-1024x759.jpg\" width=\"584\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"http:\/\/clev.ca\/BMW\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/BMW_R26-1024x759.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/clev.ca\/BMW\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/BMW_R26-300x222.jpg 300w, http:\/\/clev.ca\/BMW\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/BMW_R26-363x270.jpg 363w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I made an inquiry regarding the origin of the bike VIN number and where and to whom it was shipped.
