the bmw looks pretty good and i like the asymmetric headlites. What i really like is the low weight and high torque, and the pricetag is artificially low(but still too high for my budget)to compete with the jap superbikes. That ought to get a bunch of them out there and add to the variety which makes things more interesting for all of us. Of course the Italian bikes are have it all in terms of character and sex appeal.
