I like it. Not crazy about the megaphone exhausts or the upside down fork but otherwise it's a nice break from the usual "Bauhaus" design that BMW seems to have taken over the last decade or so (where "Bauhaus" is another way of saying "looking weird for no particular reason.") "Retro" seems to be the new trend (see the Guzzi V7 and the new Honda CB1100) and BMW made some very classic, iconic bikes in the past. Why not a modern toaster-tank, for example? Spoke wheels and fork gaiters, to complete the look. I think it could be very successful.

Never been a big BMW fan, but this is one sweet bike:
