after a day of getting used to it its awesome for the road with the electronic assists. these can be detuned or turned off completly for the brave!

nice narrow bike with loads of knee room if you're lanky like me.

also the standard pipe is loud enough to be fun without deafening you by the end of the ride.

I always find with these that they are too big for me, Not tall but wide...

I'm 5ft10 so I don't think I am particuarly short, perhaps not leggy enough.

Its actually very narrow for this class of bike, its one of the reasons i chose it , prob only bike narrower is new RSV4. Also has lots of knee room I'm 6ft and fit perfectly well.

Not bad looking for a bmw

Looks similar in ways to my zx10 with that frame and rear.

Is that a demo? Hope so with the dealer site sticker on front!

How much do they weigh wet?
