Except for the stompin ass motor thats in the new generation, and some considerable weight loss.

But yea, unless you're beasting out tenths of a second at your local track, you're not going to need nor notice that. And for damn sure not worth spending the 12 grand. Wait for something special...

I guess I answred my original question then....

I could have spent close to 15K on a BMW that is allegedely the ultimate motorcyle that wiped out the last herd of Brontosaurus roaming the Amazon or I could spend almost half the money on the lightest 1k bike with better mid range (allegedely).

No regrets on my purchase.
I like the BMW. Just not enough to spend the extra dough on it.

I saw an S1000RR in person last night for the first time. The RSV4 is 100 times sexier.
