BMW Invented it

Please do not forget that BMW invented the telescopic fork in 1935...

The same way it 1st introduced to production motorcycles ABS, Anti Slip Control, Tyre pressure digitally monitoring, Electric Suspension Adjustment (ESA), DDC (Dynamic Damping Control - HP4), Adaptive Xenon Headlights... etc.

BMW never claimed that the Telelever or Duolever is better than an up-side down fork for racing but... for everyday riding a know a lot of GS's really giving a hardtime to supersport rider's on the bends... Also if I recall correctly, the HP2 Sport that used to race in Endurance had higuer corner speed than most of the competitors...

If there is a custom bike from BMW that wants to look mean (and probably a lot cheaper than alternative telelever versions), so be it... I like BMW a lot for dearing before everyone else.
