Perfect for canyon carving

So okay, you'll either like the bike or you won't, but there's a sick irony in the commentary by the BMW design chief.

"These days it's easy to make something complicated, but very difficult to make it simple. And simple is what many buyers want."

Isn't that sad?

Big bore Push rod engine. Man when you rev this thing it might throw you over with the Traditional BMW Gyro effect. Beautiful though.

If you want another perspective on it, here's the article I wrote for Bike EXIF from the reveal at the Concorso d'Eleganza:

LOL well I popped in for my annual check-in, saw the bike being discussed, and thought I'd chime in.

It is pretty special though. Seeing it in the flesh was a real treat, it's loaded with very nice touches and details.

@the_wes whatcha mean "Seeing it in the flesh"?

I wouldn't be ashamed to ride that, looks so clean and minimalist.

I was at the Concorso d'Eleganza at Lake Como this past weekend, for the official unveiling.

"It's main market would be the USA"

Of course.

You would need $$$ to afford that. I cannot wait to see how the production bike is 'loaded' with crap.
