[castrolcraig]

who actually likes it?? i think it has a hint of chinese zong-shen styling about it, looks far better in bare naked carbon race trim

eek, I honestly thought id hate it! (its a BMW SPORTS bike of all things...)

but i actually think it looks REALLY good...

ill get my coat...

[f13ldy]

I can't see it.

Why oh why have they gone and given it such a bad paint job. All those different shades and tones of grey, not helpful to what seems to be a nice shape. Honda has shown how good using simple paint schemes can look, oh well will have to see it in the flesh first.

Agree bare carbon fibre is always a better look

Links? I can't even see them.

I've googled it now any how. I like it.

[Chilli]

Na, I can't see it either......Really want to look as well!

[bob1179]

I think I like it, though I want to see one in the flesh and have a decent mooch around one. It has some nice lines.

It still looks too long and that paint scheme is awful, its like an old Airfix model !!!

[black-k1]

I think it looks great and I wish them the best of luck with it.

BMW are going for a market that are not only ‘not traditional’ BMW buyers but are actually anti-BMW in many ways so it’s a brave move. Given BMW’s history of producing bikes that ‘do what they say on the tin’; I would expect that this will probably be pretty good.

Cant see fooook all!

my thoughts too.

I like the older pics myself. Now just looks too BMW if you get me
nothing wrong with that just thought it was going to be different

[mitzy]

It's not got me all giddy and excited.

So that will be a no from me.


Remal Post yours up again that seems to do the trick;)

Can't even see the red crosses me...
But from Untruth's pic above it sort of looks like a hybrid of a Fireblade rear half & Triumph Dayton 955i front...
-and I don't get excited about 2 tone grey colour schemes either (keep that for their GS range)

maybe that's just me ?
But that swingarm looks a bit ......sturdy... donchya fink?
