These bikes are cool, but 390 pounds dry? WTF? That means 450 with gas and fluids. That gets a big MEH from me. I’d go with a KTM Super Duke or SM-T.

Nice looking tard. Didn’t see any mention about the expected MSRP. It will probably be too expensive since is backed by BMW.

34″ seat height? Well, that is too tall for me, but I’m sure it’s what the motard fans want. Doesn’t look like it holds much gas either. Guess I’ll wait a few months and see if BMW incorporates fome of these improvements into its F800R before I pull the trigger on a Street Triple.

Looks to me like they started with the more vertical twin from the 800 GS instead of the R. They stole the GS mirrors for sure. Not sold on the looks, but it’s more appealing than some KTMs out there.

This is the kind of bike that everyone gathers around to gawk at on a Saturday morning. Many nice words are spoken about (out of kindness) and then it is completely ignored from that point on.
Ugly is as ugly does and this bike does it in spades. Who was is charge of headlight design??? They should be flogged and dragged nude behind a Nuda until they’ve paid for their errors.

And how about bar-end tassels? You can’t possibly be accepted without those in some circles….

The seats on those bikes are what kills the deal for me. If you can last a half hour on ride you qualify as a masochist.

Would love to see them do more with this platform, as it’s not practical for Portland except for 3 months out of the year as is. A little larger fairing and this could be a really fun bike, though I probably still couldn’t afford it. Would like to see a dyno to verify those 100 ponies, haven’t seen the F800 get anywhere near that on a dyno.
