Did you expect any different from BMW. Their designs have always been aesthetically challenged.

This is not from BMW, just one guy's take on it. I kind of like it. But that's just me. :-*

It had some possibilities, dig the old-school paint, the seat and rear mudguard is just plain ugly. Not sure what to call it but it's not a street fighter.

That made me spit up a little. [puke]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

I kind of like it too, but there's no accounting for taste :)

I don't care enough about the S1000RR to think they've butchered it by making it into that thing.  I just don't.  

But the part I like about it is that it's so weird looking and so damn ugly, it'd be worth riding around.  If only to grin like an idiot as people gawk at you in horror.   It's like havin' a bright pink bike.  It's fun to rock out on something that absurd.

Agree with all of this 100%.

Someone's going to buy that Frankenstein abomination. [puke] Did Indian have something to do with designing it?  Except for the lift its on, I really cant find anything else appealing.
