Yeah, I heard about it and I'm not too impressed. The horsepower upgrade is too modest. I was hoping that BMW would jack those muthas up to run with the Ninja 14 or the Busa.

Note that the fairings have different gill designs on the left and on the right.

I love the K1200S. It's probably the most fun bike i've ever ridden. Plenty of power and very, very comfortable. I can't wait to ride the K1300S. I love the lava metallic orange paint job for 09.

It's BMW. It has to be somewhat odd even though it's "conventional" in design.
