If youve owned either of them bikes....its arguable that anything could ever give you a hard-un.

JOKES!

It's sick. Boris says it's the best of its kind. I think I agree. Shot some video and Lou Martin took the stills. Will post when I get back to unzud.

It is rare that i like a motorcycle just from pictures, but this is a very attractive and no doubt well appointed bikes. I was reading an article in a mag about them yesterday.

I would expect they will ask a fair penny for these machines.

Looking forward to hearing more about them.

Have a think about what you've got to compare it to in its class.
Comparitively it's gorgeous.

Not that this is my typical genre of choice but the styling I like.

Price = showstopper, however.

I spent some time aboard one last week in Canada at the FIM Experienced Rider Training Symposium. I was pleasantly surprised how all the aids (ABS, Dynamic Traction Control, etc) are so refined and work so well that they even made me look good around the track. The engine and gearbox are super smooth. I think I agree with Boris as well although I don't get to ride all the new models like you guy's, I haven't ridden anything as good (yet).

I'm waiting for the streetfighter version: Speed Triple competitor. with six into six straight pipes.

Build it BMW, and they will come.......

I'm really shallow, but I love the dash. Like your Dad's '60's Valiant or Falcon....

Heh, until the bike is running, then you'll see it is most certainly a contemporary piece!

As for me: I like it

I don't think the comparatively qualifier is needed.
It's a good looking luxury tourer.
The dash didn't do a lot for me, but nor do I dislike it, very clear data display considering the amount it carries.
Best windscreen I've used too.
We did an hour and a half in pitch black on mountain roads and the adaptive headlights really are very good as well.
