The closest I'll ever get to owning one of these things is my '03 BCR which kicked this whole thing off (right?).
But it'll be a sad day for me if I ever see one of these things rolling down the street ridden by some twenty-year-old smoking a cigarette with no helmet (or with a bandanna) revving the engine at the stop light who keeps his feet on the ground for the first 500' after he takes off. And the girl in the car next to him will say "hey, I like your ninja!" (I didn't capitalize "ninja" on purpose.)
On one hand we're all BMW fans and want more exposure for the marque, but be careful what you wish for...Know what mean?
Well, this is very exciting in any regard and this bike is S-E-R-I-O-U-S!
