Interesting that BMW just invented this new category that is exactly the same as the one that Buell announced back in 2006 with the Uly.
I know they are aiming at the Ducati Multistrada, but the roots have to be traced back farther to at least the XB12X since Buell used the Adventure Sport term back then to announce it's intentions as more street than off road.

Looks like a neat bike. Personally, I would have hoped for more torque though... 160hp doesn't do anything for me. Give me 110 ft/lbs of torque, and now you've got me interested!!

That Yamaha triple sport tour for under 11,000 bucks! That's supposed to be an excellent engine. Obviously not a race bike but for a cheap touring machine it looks good!

Yeh its been spied on for several months now. I could probably get rid of my S1K and My Aprilia Caponord for one of those.
