that's a little strong. I would say better, but not good.
mitt
sheesh, picky today... that's kind of what I meant. the tail was a bit "look, I'm a sport bike" so the panniers do a better job of making the thing look like more of a touring/adventure type of ride.
the beak needs to go, even if it draws it's influence from the tard, but the overall bike is growing on me faster than the 1098 could ever hope to

Not bad at all..
That would let me do the tour to the Nordcap and back in style...
Long way Up
Put it next to a GS 1200 adventure and you will be surprised HOW great it actually looks.
But the price is wow...

It's a huge improvement over the previous version. However, I prefer the simplicity of air-cooled engines. Looks good tho. I like it overall.

Teddy, You having a 1098 where you live would be like having an F1 car & only getting to drive it at the Go-Cart track
.
Same basic motor, but at least you could take this thing off road...I guess. I'm not real sure I would take that motor down...or up too many rocky jeep trails though, I'm riding an S & an R 1098, and would recommend some paddle tires with carbide spikes.

Because the BMW might get ridden enough to get dirty?

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually quite taken with it.
All the spy shots had me really skeptical so i was prepared for the worst, but I think it's a very cool looking update to the Multi theme.
I'll take an S model in black, please.

So you should totally get this 1198 dually
You could chase DRKWNG & Laughn around the island. One of them can get you out of any ticket...just sayin'
Watched GP today with mouse, she said to tell you hello.

meh, I don't have the time to ride, nor the cash to horde larger bikes, although something more luggage capable would make a nice daily rider

Knowing you're like me & don't sleep alot, take a nap, go for a spin & I'll send you a new Ducati backpack. Your bike is perfect for where you live.
