    do you mean the whole bike? :P looks like its got a beak, might look better if it wasn't bright red?[/quote]

    Might look better with a stub of a beak that it had before... when it looked like a nice bike...

    It's not really following the crowd though, they all use software to design the best bike/car/whatever, eventually the software is going to come up with same'ish bike whichever manufacturer it is. Look at sportsbikes, just choose your favourite colour and engine configuration, forget the manufacturer.

    Dosen't look that extreme. I'm sure the BMW faithful will lap it up.

    No that's a Triumph Tiger 800 XC
    I was thinking of just getting a CBF1000 but am thinking more along the lines of an adventure bike now. I like the BMW but the Triumph appeals more at the moment

    The front looks like they have been raiding a Katanas parts bin.

    I actually prefer the old one.
    People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs.

    I can't see me chopping my current one in any day soon - the marginal improvement is not worth the extra cash to me. Unless I'm unlucky I expect to see 100K+ on mine which it should reach quite comfortably. There isn't any other bike I want right now either. It was never a bike I dreamt of owning - I took one out for a test ride on a whim having tried a K1300GT and was sold on it inside 30 seconds. If you get a chance to ride one its a real hoot because the fun factor is so unexpected. I traded 60 bhp to get that smile on my face
