I suggest that Moto Guzzi has produced this kind of machine for nearly 10 years, and BMW is simply copying a great design. It's just sooooooooo Japanese of them. I find the Grisso to be more attractive, and an original design. Lets face it fellas, the transverse 90 degree v twin is a better looking engine, sounds better, and the performance of the Grisso has been lauded in every article I have seen. I had a R90, I knew R90. This R nine T is no R90.

Re: R nine T
You're right, it's a different bike and it's a 1195.

Re: R nine T
At first I thought it a clever way to say R90, but no, they really do mean R nine T. I see no similarity with the older bikes. After careful consideration, I have decided to add this to my want list. The list of bikes I want to ignore.
