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. Kiss

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.

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 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.
