Highway41 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 If that engine finds its way into the 2009 RT, I'm trading. Bill Link to comment

TowJam Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie!!! I like it, I want it. Drool, drool, drool. I had an eyegasm when I saw it. But from what I'm reading, we're looking at something around $30k and even worse, it's probably going to be too tall for my 5'6" smurf physique. More pics here. Link to comment
keithb Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 After seeing this bike I have an 05 RT for sale!! Just kidding Ruby. Link to comment
GrafSpee Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Maaaan, looks good..the fairing reminds me a bit of the 01-03 GSXRs but whatever..the entire package looks amazing in typical Teutonic fashion. Nothing out of place. Link to comment

wellcraft Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 absolute fantastic looking bike and i'd love to add one to the stable but not if the price is going to be 30K or even 20K to be honest. will this bike actually be 10K-15K more bike than say a GSXR 1000????? 30K for the BMW or 10K for the GSXR and the GSXR has equal or better performance? i could justify 30K if the bike is significantly better than the competition but not if it's just a souped up r1200s Link to comment
Todd_Z1 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 It would like it better if it were all black. Also I doubt that the bike will be $30K, probably closer to $18K. It is still basically a hotted up R1200S on a trellis midframe with some carbon fiber bits, Ohlins suspension and on-board computer. Still, it looks like someone hit it with a sexy stick.

DaveC Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I think the blue colors on the frame and wheels look odd. I think these area should have been black, not a third color on the bike. I wish BMW had of put this front faring on the R1200ST. It would have looked much better, and BMW would have sold a lot more of that model. just my 2 cents worth. Link to comment
