So who has seen, ridden, bought one?  Your thoughts?

My quick first impressions from a 5 min viewing session:
- Good looking, it has presence.
- It is huge!  Looks bigger than the outgoing one, although it is a bit lighter.
- 30 odd l fuel tank, made of aluminium, not plastic any more.
- Black rims and engine.  Looks good when new, but shows scratches.
- Interesting new colour schemes.
- Comes with lots of accessories fitted. (As per prev. Adv)
- You only get enough change for a McDonalds burger from R 210 000.
- I think BMW will still be unable to keep up with the demand.  The available bikes are already sold in our town I am told.

So, those in the know, please tell us what we have here.  There seems to be less excitement around here than when the first LC's were launched.
