They even converted the liquid cooled engine of the 1150GS to an air cooled one to loose weight. |
You are right about the bucket of water, I have read it too.
No BMW boxer engine is liquid (meaning water) cooled. The latest GS's are oil/air cooled. There is a small oil radiator behind the front beak (upper mud guard).
