Bmw K46......Ducati and Honda have a serious threat?

Not the prettiest thing but with KTM hitting up SBK ranks there's no reason BMW cant come up with an SBK challenger. Oh yeah its still a test mule so there is time to fix that front.

No Boxer Head shavings :goodjob:

That iss the first thing I noticed, how hideous that thing is. It looks heavy as well, but at least the weight seems to be distributed lower to the ground. (I'm going by the look of the exhaust)

Honestly, I don't think there is any room in the high-end-expensive super-sportbike market.

Compare the # of Ducatis, Aprillias, Triumphs & Augustas sold compared to the Japanese bikes.

BMW makes good bikes, but I would be very surprised if an SBK entry translated into increased sales for a SS bike for them. They are just out of the price range of most mere mortals
