Took this photo last week at the BMW MOA International Rally in Johnson City, TN. Damn, this thing is TINY!!  | ||
| Greenlantern |
No, you just got larger.  | ||

Wider maybe... but not TALLER! | ||

Good looking scooter. Not fond of the headlights, otherwise it has a really sweet look. Tiny is good on a racer! | ||

Stunning bike.Awesome spec sheet.I LIKE oversquare. Now..Get ready for the usual, "It's got no soul.It looks like every other cookie cutter Jap bike.Who needs all that power.Goofy headlights. Does that cover it all?  | ||
| Glitch |
Does that cover it all? Nah, there's got to be a mustache joke somewhere | ||
| Glitch |
Oh you were talking about the bike!  | ||
| Ducxl |
It IS quite a bike.I can't believe BMW has done it,and done it affordably. 'cept i can't even afford to pay attention | ||
| Jaimec |
Cookie cutter? Only if the cookie cutter came from two different manufacturers. The left side and the right side of the bike don't match!   As you can see, it's not JUST the lights. | ||

Love it. Its hot. Does BM'r make the K1200R anymore? | ||
| Spatten1 |
I like the right side much more than the left. Oh yeah: HONKAWYAMSUZ cookie cutter crap blah blah blah. | ||

OOOO LOOK! A GSXR.  Nice NAS-BIKE BMW. | ||
| Jaimec |
John, the K1200R is grown up into a K1300R. Along with the bump in displacement is a return to a "traditional" turn signal switch. BMW doesn't race in NAS-BIKE. They're leaving that to Buell. | ||

I wonder why it has symmetrical mirrors... | ||
| Jaimec |
Dave Robb must've missed them while he was beating the rest of the bike with his "ugly stick." | ||

Apart from the funky headlights I think it's a nice looking bike. BMW and others have made uglier bikes. | ||

Dave Robb must've missed them while he was beating the rest of the bike with his "ugly stick." I don't think it's ugly. Some of BMW's naked bikes are ugly however... | ||
| Danny_h__jesternut |
NAS-BIKE you guys crack me up. Wake me up when Buell can compete in the league where that NAS-BIKE runs. Untill then........  | ||
| Jaimec |
David Robb is the only man on the planet who can design an uglier motorcycle than Pierre Terblanche, and do it CONSISTENTLY. | ||

Buell would need to produce an IL4 to compete in Superbike, right? BMW did just that. Instead of using ANY of the other engine designs, they just made yet another IL4. Great job! Way to get creative. Why not just have a crate bike and slap whatever manufacturer's sticker on it you wanted to sponsor and be done with it. Pretty much what they did. | ||

If I was racing in WSBK, I'd much rather have an R1, or the new Aprilia, or a Ducati 1198R F09, but then in your view, the Duc is a "cheater bike". Troy Corser and Reuben Xaus likely feel similarly. As to a Buell racing at the world level, in the scheme of such things, you won't have long to sleep. What makes more sense, starting a new bike racing program in a closer to stock national series and progressing from there, or spending millions to jump straight into World Superbike? The folks at BMW Motorcycle are learning a hard lesson. | ||

The folks at BMW Motorcycle are learning a hard lesson. That it's going to be REALLY difficult to pry "Ricky Racer" from his GSXR. (Especially when your bike is an uglier, more expensive version of the same.) | ||

I don't know why but I really like the S1000RR. Of all the non Buell bikes I like, the S1000RR ranks second just behind the Aprilia RSV4 and before the BMW 800GS. Holy crap! That makes two BMWs that I like. The world is surely coming to an end!  | ||

"Instead of using ANY of the other engine designs, they just made yet another IL4." At least they made their own. | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Takes a lot to reverse engineer what the Japanese produce. | ||
| Danger_dave |
Corser lead a few laps of the Superbikes yesterday. Suddenly I want to try one. | ||
| Danger_dave |
>>Holy crap! That makes two BMWs that I like. << Megamoto is my 08 Bike of the Year. | ||
| Metalstorm |
The bike makes me think of Harvey Two face from the Batman comics. I wonder if the bike comes with a scarred coin for decision making? I'll probably make fun of it a lot but that's only because I like it in a school boy crush kind of way  | ||

What's so revolutionary about Buell motor designs? MotoCzysz- now there's engine innovation for ya |
