[AGL] BMW 250cc single banger

[Jon Ford]

Hans-- I was passed today by a fast, smooth-running BMW two-banger, its two 
huge cylinders sticking out from the right and left side of the bike, just 
in front of the rider. My question is--why would anyone design a bike with 
the cylinders sticking out like that when it seems like if you laid it down 
in a wreck or just hit some loose gravel and lost control you would be 
likely to destroy the engine?
Maybe they sell more motors that way...

Jon
