F800GS triple black. Yeah yeah I know I can walk into any dealer and buy one, but it's the genetic modifications to make me grow tall enough to ride it that would cost the big bucks.

Same goes for most bikes I like. Even if I won the lottery I'll still be a midget

Pah!

For the money is no object bike, you can get a yellow pages and BMW to design and fit automatic stabilisers so at low speed and stopping they deploy to help you get off the bike.

Or like a horse, the suspension can just drop lower for the same effect.

Andy the prototypes had ceramic inserts within the exhausts housing the rear indicators and no mirrors; instead a rear camera and dash monitor, both of which didn't make production
