Looks like a nice development for BMW. BUT they always get something wrong. Something always irks me about their "newer " designs. ( I guess I never got over Bangle Butt" .. which as it turns out was not Bangles fault after all. ) I would really like to photo chop the gas tank so its bottom is level and it does not have that 'high- kink' in it.. The level -ness of the bottom of the tank is what makes a cafe racer... Horizontality is really where its at and what makes a classic 'look'. Ducati is winning this game, with it's more exposed "space frame". The BMW other-wise certainly conveys a light-looking-two-wheeler which is also something a racer should be: light.

My opinion...



*As for cars, the E36 M3 is perfect and when were those last made '99?, E46 M3 is pretty as well I, have to admit..and the Z4, which was designed by a woman, has such beautiful lines, so much better than the Z3, which is actually a solid little driver, despite its funky hood -line.. ahhh, I should teach this stuff out @ Cal Arts.
