I was going to post something about the new BMW but it appears you beat me to the punch.
Here's a video of it in action. This bike should appeal to the cafe' racer crowd.
Baatfam: regarding your 1100s, my guess is the motor is a bit too pedestrian by modern standards, though I would think it should deliver about the same or more low and midrange power as our "classic" litre bikes. In another thread you said you were not confident with the way it handled because of the front suspension. When you first posted a pic of your 1100s I thought that might be the ticket for a combination of some fun solo riding on country roads and two-up weekend touring--something I will be looking for in a few years once kids are out of the house. However, with your review I guess I will keep looking towards a Fazer or a Bandit or a Ninja. Can you add more to your review of the bike and explain why this hasn't been a match for you? Oh... that may not be good for your attempt to sell it on here.

It's a good bike, just not a good fit for me...plenty of people like them on the BMW forums...
If I get another BMW, I'd much rather have another K1100RS...Bob T. ~~ Play the GSR weekly photo game: Pic of Week Game
