Cool Neat BMW quad...

BMW quad bike hits 106mph

Source: topgear.com

Here is proof positive that the Swiss know how to have a good time, in a thoroughly sensible and responsible way, of course.

The curiously named company Gruter and Gut, better known as GG, has turned a BMW motorcycle into the mother-of-all quad bikes.

Called the GG Quad, this oddball bike comes with a 90bhp, 1100cc flat-twin engine and manages 106mph.

It tips the scales at a well-fed 375kg, but thanks to four wheels, it's unlikely that owners will ever need to pick it up, unlike a normal motorcycle.

All of this Swiss weirdness does not come cheap and you'll be looking at a price tag of around £25,000 for a GG Quad built to your own specification. But, hey, you'll be laughing all the way home.

Check out www.gg-technik.ch for more information.

That'd be better. But, I'd certainly wouldn't kick this one out of bed...

Fuck, I just did that in a paper too

Same difference. They're both crazy mofos when they get their hands on BMWs.
