ANy of the 1600 Beemers will outshine the F6B in Horsepower, but IMHO they don't look as good. Plus just like someone else brought up, the F6B does such a good job of mellow cruising, touring when you want, or getting down in the corners. I also believe getting the custom sound system like I have on my F6B would be a lot more of a challenge on the Beemer.
