It's about time for the Italian marques (Piaggio group, MV Agusta, Benelli) also. Possibly one way for BMW to minimise the investment cost is, to make the Supersport machine virtually identical to the 1000RR on the outside, except the engine displacement. Ducati has been doing that for years. It all boils down to BMW’s direction, whether they want to tap into the Supersports market or not.But I think it should be a good opportunity.

It's the same production process with the same number of parts. There's not much cost savings to having 600-pistons that are a fraction of an inch smaller than 1000-pistons.
