besides the headlights, this bike was a lot better looking in person.

Trouble is how much more $ the Factory version is. I used to own a "base" RSV, and the fact that the Factory existed was always nagging at the back of my head. I don't like owning something if there's a better version of it out there.

I know, but who thought the bmw would be so cheap, I realy like the rsv but for 10k less you get just about as much bike. Guess we will see how it goes this winter, hopefully I can at least sit on both of them at the bike show in NYC.

I wonder if insurance companies could be tricked into thinking it's a sport-tourer because of the BMW badge

Now that would be nice.

This bike is definitely growing on me but I need to see it in person and try to get past the funky headlights.

Could be a case of some Ins Co's just not classifying BMW's as sportbikes regardless of whether they are or not.

I know Rider Ins Co does NOT classify ANY Ducati, Triumph or Buell as a sportbike, thus lower premiums.
