shame about the nose with those mismatched headlights. looks horrible IMO. other than that seems to be a great bike

Ah. The problem with superlatives? If the best just got better then technically it went down one step from best to better..

Always a problem when over using superlatives. It's like calling anything "new" Like Fiat Nuovo 500. OK until you wish to reintroduce a newer one.

What if you say, "The best just got even better..."?

A large engined BMW ( over 800cc ) ,with chain drive .Thats a first .Sports bikes look all the same to me .If i had the money i would be buying the BMW K1600 LT ( i think its called ?).

Well I think that is the problem with over use of the best. If it is the best then it is still the best. If it was the best and something comes along that is better then it becomes the best.

New improvements to the best bike maintain it's position as the best.

It's all semantics but superlatives get over used.

Agree - I too think they are very ugly.

Such bikes look "borg" to me.

'Sportbikes look all the same'?

Yes! I really value the opinion of someone who rides a Lifan. With red striped saddle bags.

It made (makes) this bike look more bad-ass. It's just so different from anything else.

However I think it's maybe time for BMW to get back to symmetrical designs. All of their current asymmetrical headlamp bikes are ugly now, it's one of the reasons I didn't consider a f800gs. The s1000rr at least still looks hot... The others... Not so much.

It'll be interesting to see how the BMW stacks up against the new Ducati 1199.
