Not this one you don't..........
Dear god - what were BMW thinking of????? My daughter can colour in better than this. It
ing! Can you tell the shape of the bike with a colour scheme like this? I can't! BMW need to clear out their "colouring-in" team and get a new bunch of 5 year olds to do the job. On what world does this look good????

..................but maybe that oneOkay - calmed down after seeing that colour scheme. Here's my two penneth.
I don't think that it is bold enough. They've obvioulsy wanted to go fairly radical, hence the rear end (which I like!), but the front is too like the old S. The new front fairing could be a direct replacement for the existing one. If you look at the side view it does actually look like the old one! As for the sides, well not too much you can do there, but if you compare it to the new F800 it's hard to tell the difference.
THe mirrors look good, but they are the same as the K1200S, and I do like the seat. Looks like you can hang way off that
Overall - not bad but could have done a lot better!

Gixxer thou,ZX10,R1 but not something with a engine that wouldn't pull you out of bed!!!,it looks nice but can't see a use for it,and with the new 800 twin comeing along to boot.
