Why oh why did they make the thing unsymmetrical. 1 round light and 1 squarish light.

Shark slashes on one side of the fairing and not on the other. Sick

and its bloody expensive. The prices you see quoted are always for the base model without ABS and all the toys. If you get all them its almost 5 grand more than a blade Shocked

Saw one at Goodwood. Wasn't really bothered, certainly wasn't a good looking bike - like an ugly K5 onwards Gixer, if ever that was possible.

That looks pretty bad, symmetrical it would have looked much better.

It looks like they've taken two halves of two race reps and slammed them together.

If you look closely enough you'll probably see the glue seam running the entire length of the bike.

That would be lovely if both headlights were the same, and the fairings were the same.

Meant to be a good bike though!

i wonder if you could fabricate something up so they match both sides but not sure if that would be possible or you would want to do that to a brand new bike either Thumbs Down

The race bike looks fooking awesome.

The road bike looks rubbish. In conclusion buy the road bike, and fit race kit. Cool

Not when you've spent anything up to £14000 on the basic bike you wouldn't unless you were stupidly rich.

So true, money would be better spent on a different 1000.

Personally I'd much rather save some cash and buy a Fireblade or R1.

cant stand the ass-ymetrical lights at all to be honest but love the rest of the bike. I dont know why BMW have to put in at least 1 silly feature to go against the grain when it seems like it is just for the sake of being different.

The spec sheet is impressive though:

BMW designers are obsessed with Patrick Moore?

Or as a youtuber said.
