The more I look at it the more I like it.

I agree that the profile is handsome. The devil is in the details though. That's where the ugly creeps in.

Ugly. I guess that BMW engineers used first manual of u-boot designing issued by Kriegsmarine in 1936 :-)

Hahah, wood panels?! Really?!

Looks like a Victory bagger----not hard to see where they got their design idea. Bars are different, bags are smaller and the fairing is frame mounted and the lines are sharper. Looks like a first cousin of a Cross Country.

Its got the "big front wheel", which should appeal to the Sturgis cruiser crowd. Not saying that a big wheel is bad, just saying. Expect to pay $$$ for a front tire replacement.

This reminds me of the old Infiniti car commercials where they spent more time not showing the vehicle than showing it. In a 3:01 commercial it may have had 30 full seconds, maybe 45 of air time.

That guy sewing and stamping the leather is an important part of the marketing We all know it's the leather work that makes a truly great bike.

It is still in the concept stage and alot of things will be changed before production. I would be surprised if the wood and leather makes the final cut but then again BMW is not afraid to mix it up. Rear fender/bags could flow together better. Bags could be a bit deeper. Not really liking the sharp turn of the exhaust. Engine side cowls would be a nice functional addition. BMW has produced some of the fugliest bikes I've ever seen but, with a little refinement, this bike could be a contender.
