Saw this in person Saturday. It's actually really beautiful in person. Not as big as it looks. However, with the 1,800 cc engine it would be like dating the woman with the biggest jugs in the room.
BMW has really diversified their line over the last few years. They've got the S1000rr at the top of the sportbike food chain, all their touring bikes, and are really successful with the retro styled bikes. They aren't just building a "retro" look, but the fit finish and materials used are all old school, but with modern braking and power. They've brought in a lot of independents like Roland Sands and others to tell them what the people want. They want people to customize the r18 and the r nineT bikes.
