The S1000R in white is on my short list.

 

short list of bikes to put on your long list of bikes you've sold? :p

 

BMW made a phenomenal GSXR 1000 copy, with some marked improvements.  I really think it's a great motorcycle, but I would by lying if I didn't admit some measure of disappointment in BMW for using the same formula as the Japanese manufacturers, rather than coming up with something wacky (or in a perfect world, revolutionary) that made it more interesting.

 

Then again, above 7,000 RPM or so, I bet it feels pretty interesting to the nut between the seat and the bars.

BMW already has plenty of funky bike designs.  I was happy to see them come out with the 1000cc I4. 

 

I guess I just wanted them to mount it sideways, and then use a shaft-drive or something.  Anything to make me think, "yep.  there it is. that's the BMW I was expecting."  Like I said, it's a fantastic bike, it just feels like an asymmetrical GSX-R 1000 with better stock brake and suspension components.
