Nice, but I would still wear a helmet, but in 50 years, the only thing I'd be wearing is a wooden box. Also, what about the idiot the T-bones you?

Marketing hyperbole at it's finest. I bet not a single one of those designers actually rides a motorcycle.

Most accidents happen when you go wide in a curve or hit something. I'll keep wearing a good helmet, thanks.


LOL - What vapor-ware . . .

They can't even make a final drive that lasts, how about working on that.

Not wishing to bang BMW's drum, but considering that they outsell S10's at least 30:1 (I'm sure someone knows the exact figure), there were not that many failures, agree the older 1100/1150 GS' were more industrial, but even so, look at how K-series they sell compared to failures...... Let's not bash a brand that does most of it pretty well, even when they fail, people still buy them, that's 'branding'.

Vaporware is right. Virtual showcase for technology they'd like to invent.

Self balancing?? Does it allow for the 30 kilos of shoes SWMBO takes on our European tours?

If you believe that, then you likely also believe that you can piss on a spark plug and it will feel good. R ::012::
