    Now that is one BWM bike that I would consider. I saw it pegged as competition for the Hayabusa in motorcyclist magazine. Not sure how valid that claim is but it looks pretty good.

    Yeah, for a cooler take on it, check out www.face-the-power.com

    It may be comfy, but it ain't as tourer as it sport. Check out the specs at that sight about. 168 RWHP! And Low Weight! And Narrow Body! And super advanced chassis and suspension!

    Its gonna be a sleek bike... I'd love one

    But when we ride very fast motorcycles, we ride with immaculate sanity. We might abuse a substance here and there, but only when it's right. The final measure of any rider's skill is the inverse ratio of his preferred Traveling Speed to the number of bad scars on his body. It is that simple: If you ride fast and crash, you are a bad rider. If you go slow and crash, you are a bad rider. And if you are a bad rider, you should not ride motorcycles.

    Yup, but if you want it to be stiffer, all you have to do is push a button on the console

    I guess if I was into the six figure income area, I could be into one of these hugely overpriced BMW's. They look pretty sweet. But alas, I am a lowly 5 figure a year slug so I can only afford my cheap ass Suzuki Bandit 1200S and my.... VAN, DOWN BY THE RIVER!!

    I saw a sweet video of it lapping the Nurburgring a while ago.

    I don't think I could find it again though.

    Kham... what if this thing puts more than 140hp to the pavement? Will you trade in your ZX-10R? The ZX-10R will be no good at all if this thing turns out to be more powerful.

    That's cause the babe is Gerard and he detected a camera to stare at.
