Crop Duster Vs. 1977 BMW Motorcycle





Who would win this race, the 1977 BMW Motorcycle or the CropDuster? Anyone ever tried this at home?

The addiction of riding. Finding a crop duster to race. A mountain road to whip. Lakes, woods, cities, all of America. And once you start riding, you're hooked. Once you ride a BMW, you're hooked too. Because a BMW gives you value, reliability, performance, quality, and a pride you won't find riding any other bike. it is the finest. And it is unique. Yes, unique. We perfected shaft drive because it's quieter, more reliable, more positive. We work hard to achieve engineering simplicity. Because simple means reliable. Who needs complexity out on the road? Special alloys make a BMW 50 to 150 pounds lighter than other big bikes. This makes the price tag heavier. But one ride will show you it's worth every penny. Look, the best doesn't come cheap. Never has. But when you ride BMW, you know you can just get on and ride anywhere, anytime. You know you own the road.

Check out this Crop Duster racing a 1977 BMW Motorcycle.
