BMW finished 4th and 5th in 2013 I think. They must have had a few wins to do that. I am not really sure exactly when or what race I just remember seeing the BMW doing very well.

Sure, maybe when the non-Jap bikes start actually winning races.
I did not mean in racing. Rick is Eye-talian now, if he had made the switch 2 months ago then the Big Bend ride would have been 20% Japanese. :D

Rick can claim eye-talian when he gets the half-dozen jap bikes out of his garage and refuses to track a GSXR.

Right now he's just eye-curious.
