Link didn't work for me.

Works for me, it's a fancy website that probably takes a boatload of browser sorcery to work.

Nice, but the engine layout.
OTOH, you could cook some steaks on those cylinders sticking out of the frame

Nice fresh Beemer. Still won't trade my little monster for it.

that's how i feel - i could never get past those cylinders before.  i do like this one quite a bit better than some of the other machines with similar configurations - i could actually see my self rippin around on one of those.

upon closer inspection, it's really not that bad from any angle other than the front...they kind of look like wings from there.
and its a bummer they cover up that sweet single sided swingarm..

Reminds me a lot of the Moto Guzzi Griso.

Not really a fan, but will go test ride one.

Let's add some pics to this thread.  I love it.  It is a great looking standard with a nice stance and a round headlight.  It really isn't that hard to make a good looking bike.  They must have locked the German designers out of the room.  I'm really surprised that nobody funked this up.

No word on pricing yet.
A poster on ADVrider posted a price of 15k euros on the other side of the pond.
I'm guessing US pricing will be in the $20k ball park. 

Performance looks solid too.
Standard ABS.
110 hp
88 lb/ft of torque

I just don't dig it. They seem to be going for the older Monster look, but then you leave a gap between headlight and cluster, the frame is kinda all over the place and don't get me started on the engine. The tank is too big as well.

I like it, but I like the Griso a lot better. They won't sell many for $20K though...I'm guessing more around $14K.

 I wish they would bring the R1200S back, only lighter weight. Regardless of what you think of the flat twin, it makes a very nice back road tool. Very much like the 2 valve Ducati motor!
