im dying to see how this Bimmer stacks up against an 1198, RSV4, and CBR... my bet is that it out powers them but cant out lap them... getting the chassis right takes a few more efforts than getting the engine right. The other manufacturers have been racing and making superbikes bikes far to long for BMW to step in and teach them a lesson on their first attempt.... but you cant put anything past BMW.
Ve had ze V4 guy but ve schott ze schweinhund! He vouldn't shuttuppen! V4 zis, V4 zat, und didntknowwhatindefuken he vas sprecken about! Now ve have ze bitte inline 4 in green, ja und zum ozer color.
I vould like to buy ein BMW, but ze green is for ze Moto Guzzi, und I am nein liken ze BMW schkrooball turnzignals, ja.
I zink ze Katana und ze R6 had some sex, ja.
I vould like one, but I vant mein motorrad painted like ze RED BARON!
I am going to guess that the plastics are NOT that readily available on Ebay... but at least it's broken in now. Don't have to worry about washing it or rock chips.
it looks good all busted up like that, you even got rid of those hideous shark gill thingies...
I don't mind so much the gills on one side and the crater on the other... you can only see one side at a time anyway. The lights would take some getting used to... but it kind of reminds me of the 24 hour bikes and their special lights on the race fairing... All said, the bike does need to be black to look good I think, but we'll see.

Have to agree.....it looks much better "after" than "before". BMW says that the asymmetric fairings are designed to pull in air from one side, draw it across the front of the engine and exhaust it out the other side.....what a bunch of idiots, haven't they seen the diagram showing how they can get 35% better airflow by just moving the cylinders around? Idiots.
