1199 is here! Official Launch

[Goat_Herder]

Other than the tank that looks a little out of place, I am loving the 1199.  Can't wait to see it in person at the international motorcycle show!

I wanted to hate it.

I can't.

Love the tail section and surfaces on the upper areas.  The only minor niggle I have is the front would look stronger with a horizontal surface under the twin headlights.  The one on it looks like a hare lip.

Video looked confident, maybe sped up 5% or so?

Nice either way.  Need to see it in person for a final take.

[Grappa]

Gorgeous piece of art.  Just one more damn thing that I can't afford!

Why does the right-side bodywork emphasize the clutch when it's wet, and there's therefore nothing to see?

Forthcoming dry clutch conversion kit?

[Triple J]

I really like it so far. I'm not a big fan of the tri-color, but I never am. The red version...

I think I'll make it my wallpaper, and see how it grows on me with regular viewing.

Love it. I wonder of that TFT instrument panel looks good in direct sunlight?

All that new go-fast bling is nice and all but I read that the tank is now made from aluminum! 

[iRam]

The bike is so beautiful it made me forget the abysmal performance the GP11/GP11.1 had this year
