Re: Magnificent beemer.
I dunno....
I like several of the bikes that that firm has built but this one leaves me kinda cold.
Someones checkbook is obviously a lot lighter this year than it was last year but the bike just looks too busy and more hacked together than it should. It's as if they threw in every doodad and modification in that they could think of without first creating a cohesive theme for the bike.
Lots of people appear to like it but not me.

I'd have to scrap the fuel injection and associated electronics and put gravity feed carbs on it.
Gravity is more reliable than an electric fuel pump (when right side up).
