    Yup, I like it..

    Not keen on the exhaust tail pipe detail, but I like the rest, and if the killer performance was there, I'd switch flat 6 for upright 6... I gotta say, the best feature of the F6 is how it runs away from so many different bikes... And yet it could be even better with a bit of modern (Honda) tech thrown at it.. Imagine if it had variable valve timing and a more sophisticated electronics package. Honda can build the best engines in the world - the F6B should get the best..

There is a video of it on the BMW site if anyone knows how to post the link here. If they do it right it could be an awesome bike and I would be interested in getting one. The motor is killer. I'm looking forward to the finished product.
    Here's a vid, towards the bottom of the page.

    Exhaust is hideous but the front looks pretty sweet.

    But what is this thing with the wood paneling? Reminds me of Tom Hanks saying "There's no crying in baseball!" There's no place for wood in motorcycle design!

    Even though it appears to be a blatant copy of the F6B, I really like the look.
    Now, if they built that bike on the R engine instead of the K, I'd buy one.

    You guys that think it is "butt ugly" do realize that there are many who thought and still think the same of the F6B.
    I am glad that manufacturers are going outside the box to keep the motorcycle market growing.
    Do I like it?
    Parts of it are cool,others,not so much.
    If everyone had the same "cookie cutter" style motorcycle,it would be rather boring in the motorcycling industry.
    Besides,Harley Davidson has got that part of the market sewed up!
    Sorry,I couldn't help myself.
    Someone had to say it.
    I have a friend that when I would say I didn't like something,he would say.."you know Doug, that is why they make different color paint."
    So true.

    Except for the stupid "woodie" look, this could be interesting. Overall, it looks to be a nice package.

    If I can't fix it, I will fix it so no one can fix it.
