The headlights are ruff (didnt the learn from the blinking GS series... everyone hates unsymetrical fronts grrrrrrrr) but asides from that its quite nice. Its kinda like the buell lightning/firebolt look... cept with german ahem.. style.

Id rather have the firebolt tho Razz

The good bits deserve to be seen on BCF too. Razz

Out of how ever many thousand people there are on BCF, about 10 of them probably browse UKRM, so it's hardly repeated content for many people.

Whoever got the link on UKRM probably got it off someone else too.

I think it is smart, it would be even smarter if all the rest of it was black too.

Ugly? are you sure?

I like, bmw seem to be one of the few manufacturers who are quite happy to try different things, like their odd but effective suspension system, but also like their **** indicator system... the only propblem i'd have is the bmw serviceing costs Sad but if you can afford their bikes you can probably afford their running costs...

This kind of bike is going to be the future of biking, look how many designs are being shown now, Aprilia Tuono, MV Brutale. I'm sure bike makers are starting to move away from race reps in order to fend of governement criticism of road casualties.

I doubt too many bikes of the future will look like that. Purely because there's no chance of you going too fast on that typre of style bike.

mm not sure.. but i usually find its not till you see the bike in the flesh can you make a true decision

i think BMW are being brave, but then there is a swing to different styles.. we all like diffewrent styles

people used to poo poo the dustbin fairing now its plastic everywhere sales will show
