Nice.
Love this color. Burnt Orange, like an old hot rod.

Bah, lame turn signals... With the change to the Japanese Transverse 4 and these Japanese style turn signals, I gotta wonder if BMW is jobbing out all bike design to Japan now days...

I really think so...

No fun no sin no you no wonder it's dark.
Everyone around me is a total stranger.
Everyone avoids me like a psyched lone ranger. Everyone.

that's just more of the Asian influence. It really does look like they hired the design out to some country in Asia.
Good thing I'm not in need of a new bike. I'd have to buy a Honda or Yamaha - not a JBMW.

I think there's a reason why motobrick riders prefer the older BMWs.
I have no use for the new stuff either.
Plus it's way overpriced imo.

1300, 1500, 2000 cc's or more....
Is this going to stop somewhere?
The new 1300- just what we need 170+ HP. Where can you possibly use that power RESPONSIBLY other than on the track?
Not only that but the "naked" version is really butt ugly. What genius came up with that design- nice windscreen

Took me a while to get used to the indicator and switch arrangement on my K, now having to ride jap stuff at the moment I so prefer the K setup, easier to use, lost count of how many times I have blasted the horn coming up to a turning, good job I have blacked out inner visor, you could see the glow for miles otherwise.
