VocalNeal Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 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.

VocalNeal Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 What if you say, "The best just got even better..."? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikster Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 http://www.motorcycl...look/index.html shame about the nose with those mismatched headlights. looks horrible IMO. other than that seems to be a great bike 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.
