This reminds me of the first R100Rs.Did not like it when it first came out,but started to like it when BMW changed the paint color.See good potentenial for a cafe racer.   Oh yea,TK,how is life progressing with your new bike?                                                                    E-Steve On Saturday, October 19, 2013 9:20 AM, Todd Kennedy <todd.kennedy1110@yahoo.com> wrote: Hey...go easy on all this negative BMW talk ("Bauhaus" - "Looking weird for no particular reason").  I assure you there is a reason (don't ask me what exactly but there must be or the German's wouldn't design them that way!)
