I'm not ready to say it is growing on me just yet...

I like white bikes.

The exhaust is the least hideous of the liter bikes.

The gills are not as atrocious in this scheme than the metallic-baby-puke green.

I still don't see the "sexy."

The green is actually quite awesome. The pictures don't do it justice.

The exhaust has a catalytic converter - and from what everyone tells me, that is the first thing they want to rip off. However, it has expansion chambers on the headers AND a butterfly in the can itself. No other full system will give you that. AND, it's 24 pounds for the ENTIRE system.

There isn't anything on this bike that doesn't have a REASON...

Base price is 13,800, wonder what the SP goes for? Its a killer bike and will definitly stand out at bike night, you know the engineering and performance wont disappoint. As for looks? Meh.

bike night...this being a bmw chances are the guy who brings it is gonna be a class a toolbox. Im talkin snap-on grade. I really do like the way the bike looks, but me and german cars have never got along well. I cant imagine this would be much different

I'm really digging it in green...but I don't know if I would want to make a long term commitment on BMW.

Either way...2010 is shaping up to be an interesting year (when I will finally go and get a new bike...leading contender is the CBR1K)

I don't really care for the headlights. The sideview is nice.

I hope you dont think I am a toolbox then since I am giving it some serious consideration.

No you'd be a toolbox if you rode to Jersey.

My final word on it that Roadracing World nabbed an early delivered BMW 1K and spirited of to the dynojet dyno and it pumped 179 hp next to an 09 Gsxr 1K at 162. If I had the coin and wanted a liter race rep I would definitely shop the BMW!
