And then there were three

The price seems low for BMWā€”is the battery optional? Is the sound of a propeller spinning in the wind standard?šŸ¤£ I will have my RS as long as I can ride, but BMW has lost me as a new bike customer with their change to water-cooled, wet clutch designs.

Thank you my brother!

Oh my god is that hideous! I honestly do not understand BMW anymore. Before I bought my 11 year old FJ Cruiser a month ago, I looked at every BMW car made. I used own a 528e sedan which I loved. To my shock and horror, BMW has about 18 models nowadays and they are all butt ugly. Seriously butt ugly, just like that POS above!

Iā€™m with you my brother. WTH BMW?

Sorry. To my eye - Butt ugly. Your opinion may differ.

BMWā€™s both bikes and cars had a unique but instantaneous recognizable design. Now, they all look blah or like bugs.

That looks like a Honda Accord to me. To me, everything nowadays looks like a Honda Accord or Civic. Itā€™s truly sadā€¦Design and styling are dead.

Not mine! Nope. šŸ˜†šŸ˜†šŸ˜†

According to a top GM engineer it's all about the fuel mileage. It's this shape (the same as everybody) or a radically different one that nobody will buy because "it doesn't look like a car."
Ever notice how the new ford bronco looks a lot like the FJ from the front 1/4?
 
Hey Scott, that FJ should say "Tonka" on the side. It looks like a toy or something a child would draw in grade 1 art class. ;)
My wife thinks my GLK350 looked like a kids toy. I have to show her that FJ. That's a whole new level of fugly. But to each his own they say.

I owned two FJ Cruisers and only parted with my Cement 2014 Trail Edition when my need to tow heavier loads became a regular thing.
Toyota made a huge mistake not designing a second generation FJ. Just look at the demand for the Ford Bronco.
 
God I love your S bike Don. Still looks fantastic. Makes me miss mine. They are a total hoot to ride donā€™t you agree?

Chanting to myself: ā€œStay off Cycle Trader Scott. Stay off Cycle Trader.ā€. :D
