Might be a derby.
I'm excited to see if this concept bike finally shows up in the showroom. [bacon]

I love it. I'm surprised they didn't bring it out yet.
i just bought the diavel, i will sell the diavel if this comes out. [drink]
Get the low pipes if you buy.
The pics and renderings of the high pipes are ridonkulous. [roll]

The thigh burner? Yeah.
I've been hoping they'd pull the trigger on this since the concept drawings came out way back when. I could see myself getting one if the price weren't horrendous. Seems like a pretty sweet "blank canvas" on which to mod.
Really.....that bike is in production!!?
Rather have a Duc.......now a concept that should be made is
The Honda NAS!!!! [thumbsup]
Very cool! :)
I'm passing on buying the current street fighter because of the expanding fuel tank, lets see who will get my money for a naked super bike in the coming year or so.
BMW saw the success of the Diavel, even though BMW concept came first, and decided to go production. [clap]
Maybe it will bring down the price of the Diavel.
I think, V-Rod/StreeRod, Diavel, LoRider, VMax all would compete in this category.
Wow... that is really cool. I love it.
meh
I'd rather do this.

I wasn't familiar with the NAS. I googled it, was blown away at how cool that thing looks.
But I'm more of a throw back and would rather see Honda make the CB1100 F.
The guzzi is cool as well.

The Griso is a nice moto (used to have a 2007). The SE model made it that much better. [thumbsup]
Plus, Guzzis sound fantastic with a pipe...BMWs sound like a wet fart. [coffee]

I vividly remember the sound and feel of HDs, Ducs, Geese, Limeys and Airheads thundering down the front straight at Daytona through the early '80s in the heyday of BOTT racing. None of those bikes, including the airheads, sounded like a wet fart. Pull the suppressor out of the Staintunes on my '81 R100 and I promise it'll rock any gearheads soul. Have they ruined that somehow with the oilhead?
Nope, I don't care for the high pipe on the BMW and yep, the Griso is sweet to my eye.

Wet fart is probably a bit dramatic I admit. [laugh] But, the BMWs I've heard with pipes don't sound all that great. Nowhere near as nice as a Duc or Guzzi.

Fair enough ... I think another of those situations where *timing* is everything 8)
if they actually make it, I'd put it on the short list when I'm ready for a new bike.

My thoughts exactly.
And that's a good thing! [thumbsup]
I want BMW to make a naked S1000. Rode my friend's S1000RR recently. Thing's a rocket ship.(http://s2.postimage.org/19lsp7cys/whoosh_whoos_guy.gif)

Man, Ducati should have just tweaked the Sport Classic, they are so missing the boat on this revival

And figure out how to make non-inflating gas tanks (!)
The BMW posted above would have me selling both Italian bikes since I doubt I'd have to replace a BMW gas tank every two years.
problem BMW have is with reliability these days they are way behind Ducatis.
my local shop is full of broken down recent BMWs most problems are electronic or poor quality issues

I own a GS, Megamoto, HP2e beside my 1996 M900 and 2008 S2R. I have yet to have any issue with the BMWs, though they did have a higher price point when purchased.
The S2R is on its third gas tank, had fueling issues needing the DP ECU to remedy. The M900 is an older bike so it's just a rolling project bike, but did leave me stranded with a failing voltage reg and clutch slave that failed.
Apples and oranges, I know. Personally, BMW has their act together for the real world without the immediate need for accessorization that Ducati does. I can't speak to the issues with the Panigale and MS1200 but I have heard a few rumblings about those models. (?)
