new bikes keep coming. I wonder where they got their inspiration from here?

I don't know do you

When did Ducati move their design team to Germany?

Its a Multistrada rip off.

But who cares they have just launched the RCV road bike

I like that too. All depends on price compared to the multistrada...

I reckon they'll pitch it about a grand less than the duke.

Now that must be one of the closest obvious ripoffs I've seen. They could have at least done it in a different colour.

............. and after all the stick they gave Triumph for the Tiger 800

Quite like it though

I like it as well. It looks lighter and slimmer than the Duke.

I see there's a touring package available. No prices mentioned though.

The inline 4 might put a few of the purists off, but I bet thats a stonking bike.

I think they have done it in that colour in purpose to challenge the multistrada. If it is a grand cheaper it will surely steal sales especially with BMW reputation for reliability and the brand popularity in the touring sector.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha - I like it, except they have made the lights symmetrical WTF!!! They should be wonky like mine, I am very disappointed.

Looking forward to getting a test ride sorted ha ha ha

How heavy is frankies bike compared to this new one? I have to say I like both.

So that's the Tiger, the Beemer, the Yam and the Yam to test ride next year if I'm after a second bike?

I have to say the tiger has been a stonking bike for me so far. Even though I class as a second bike its most likely done more miles than other peoples only/first bike ha ha. Except the tyres are the wrong ones for this time of the year!!! spent the other morning sideways on the M4 in the rain, that is not an exaggeration either, a few times the back stepped out, once was really my fault, too much right hand pulling away (not M4).

The new one won't do that, Frankie. Triumph have fitted traction control i think.

That Beemer and the Yamaha should make stonking roadbikes and great for covering big miles easily.

My Multi is so easy to ride. It does have limitations compared to sportsbikes but it makes up for it in other ways.

I'm going to get the suspension set up for next Spring, possibly take it to MCT.

It's not a bad looking bike to be fair, but too similar to the multi for my liking. The new multi looks ace, thinking about that already for next year .
