New sporty BMW





last img may not work for some...

I think it looks pretty good, dry weight of 418lbs should put it around 480lbs my guess (around the same weight as a RC51).  They say it's the most powerful boxer twin they've ever produced and should be good for over 120hp.  No it's not going to battle race replicas but I think it could still be a cool bike....

Heres a better write up on it from Motorcycle-usa.com  They're saying 122hp and 470lbs ready to ride and guess it to be around $14k.  Around the price of a 749/749S, anyone know how the maintace on a beemer like this compares to a Ducati?

Not really my style, but really cool looking actually.

Seems like BMW is wanting to get more aggressive now.  Or may be not.  Looks kind of cool.  Wonder what all the test will have to say about it.
