What a great answer. It's true. Look at the bike. It's a morph of everything the Big 4 are doing on their current model liter bikes.
It seems to me that BMW should be above just copying current designs. They are an innovative company that does some esoteric shit. I would have expected something of a paradigm shift from them. Something radical. Instead they built an overpriced, "Japanese" liter bike... that probably doesn't perform as well as an actual Japanese liter bike...
