Well .... let's just say that the last European manufacturer who tried to beat the Japs at their own game ..... lost (Triumph TT600).... they learned from that experience.

You could paint that bike in white+blue and call it Suzuki, or in white+red and call it Yamaha, or mean grean and say it's a Kawasaki .... would fool me, it would!

Its all wrong.

There's no top box to keep my pipe and slippers in.

Unless it can really trounce all commers from the land of Nippon who's going to buy it? (in any numbers) :?:
There would appear to be a surfeit of prolixity and sesquipedalian content today please do not use a big word when a singularly un-loquacious and diminutive linguistic expression will satisfactorily accomplish the contemporary necessity

Looks like it's got an oil tank/radiator resevoir in the seat hump.. The next step from heated grips? A seat warmer.. boil in the bag bollox!

You lot kill me. :roll:

Someone (mentioning no names :roll: ) will be along in a minute moaning there is no luggage option or a centre stand to oil/adjust the chain :evil:

Yes, it may look like a jap bike but its bloody gorgeous.....and it's a BMW.

What more could you possibly want ??

It's gonna scream like next door neighbours cat on heat, on full chat, rather than the WW2 Bomber sound of our trusty steads.

Think i know which i prefer !

Errrmmm.....or do I ?

Check out sound and S1000RR presentation on YouTube.
