I see Duke II influence in that Motard design!

Still a Beemer, will be way over priced for what you get.

Hmmm, smells like, Rotax/Aprilia

Not that that's a bad thing, really.

not to hi jak this Beemer thread,but I believe I saw ATK say something about possibly using a 650 cc Rotax motor for a DP/SM bike in the future, recently on another site...? stay tuned,folks!

How much are these things supposed to weigh? I could be interested in a dual sport model.

Claimed weight (why should they lie?) is 440 lbs! I dont think you'll be pitchin' that bad boy into too many berms.....

I think you're wrong about the weight. You said the HP2 was 440# in a previous thread. That makes more sense.

My bad, you are correct sir, I had a brain fart......

Specs are out for the 650X Moto. 324 lbs. dry/351 wet. 53 horsepower. $9,525 USD. (Ouch...)

There's a chance I might (fingers crossed) get a chance to ride one of these during the U.S. press intro in February. If it happens, I'll report back here...

I think this is the direction Suzuki should have taken with the V-Strom 650. They've got that great engine, but the bike is about 100 lbs. overweight, and what's with the goofy 19" front wheel? If they made a bike more like the BMW, and sold it for around 6 grand, it would be a great all-around play bike/commuter that wouldn't dent your wallet...

Here are some videos and other stuff on the BMW X's. Check the part where he's riding up and down the stairs!

That will probably kill the demand more than anything else.
