Im hoping BMW keep their promises. BMW is stating, that this particular bike will be able to compete with all other brands on all levels, including price. Are we talking a price range of $12-15.000? That is what I would consider a reasonable price tag if this bike is to be comparable to that of a new CBR, ZX-14 or even Busa. The additional $2-5.000 in price difference should be reflected in additional equipment, such as heated grips, ABS etc.
If BMW actually will honor their promises, I will be amongst the first to preorder a model for track and make my K12S my commuter.
I've heard spec's are in the 190hp/190kg - thats a weight ratio of 1/1!!! Stock! This is all very exciting and I think this bike has a shot for BMW to re-enter, and hopefully win some of the MotoGP Championships.
