Oh yes that will do nicely but no info on pricing yet. For me it would have to be the sport version. Checkout you tube for official video of the sport

Nice, looks really futuristic.

I'm amazed at the amount of features. Did you see the heated seat at just after 1:00? That would be nice in the winter.

I'd feel like I was piloting a spaceship if I ever could afford one of them. I doubt that would ever happen though, BMWs are super expensive. :(

I'm sure I read somewhere that the sport is going to be around £6500 and the GT £7100, heated grips too not to mention the electric windshield on the GT....if i could afford it I'd get both!

seems to me theyve borrowed some styling ideas off the PCX.

Not sure about the indicators on the mirrors though - I like to fold my mirrors in when I'm filtering.

Yeah, but do you use your indicators when filtering? I don't... ;)

Hope it gets much better MPG's than the Honda Silverwing. Otherwise, not interested. Lots of expensive bikes and scooters that go fast but get mediocre MPG's.

Fuel consumption
90 km/h l/100 km 4,5
100 km/h l/100 km 4.8
120 km/h l/100 km 5,6

To give you an idea, that's worse than BMW quotes for their F800ST bikes. I like the bike, and I'd love to see that swing-arm plus wet chain on a regular motorcycle, but these particular models are too thirsty still.

edit: I find the new Honda NC700CS and NC700X to be more exciting, they can be delivered with a dual-clutch transmission, have room for a helmet where the tank usually is and they're more economical to boot! A Dutch reviewer clocked 4.0l/100km during his review with a 'spirited' riding style. I wonder how such a DCT-equipped bike would ride..

I like the Honda Integra 700 that's coming. I think it'll be a bit cheaper than the BMW's :D

I don't like any of the new crop of super scooters, they just don't appeal to me at all.
For my needs £4000 would get me enough scooter.
Here's my pricepoint predictions for when they eventually hit UK showroom floors:
The BMWs are in direct competition with the Yamaha T-Max and Suzuki Burgerking 650 so will cost circa £8000
The Honda Integra will cost more than a Deauville, also circa £8000
