But it's still ugly as sin.

So that's a BMW? Didn't know they made an Ultra Glide wannabe. Clean up the lights and they might have something.

But, personally I've never seen the need for that much wind protection.

Yep. One of the few bikes to make a Can-a-tuna look good.

BMW builds ugly bikes. Period.

Eh.....I personally think their new liter bike looks better than any of the Jap liter bikes this year.

Watched a video and they said the 1200 is the lightest & most compact V-4 they've made to date. I wonder "how much" less than the 5th/6th gens' v4?

On weight, they took away half the gears in the cam section, but added a driveline section to the engine.

Maybe they'll show a pic comparison.

Their models (both) are better looking than Honda's anyway.

Having said that, if you like it and it's what you want, hope you enjoy it!

Yup, absolutely horrible in person. I was hoping it would be one of those things that just doesn't translate well in 2 dimensions, but that just wasn't the case.
