I'm with Sid on this one.... Looks like it could be a good tool, but maybe not at BMW prices. If you consider that the new Honda CBF1000 is just £5k (and it's almost as ugly) if this is anywhere near £7k it will only appeal to BMW'ites, who probably already have a similar bike anyway...

I'm not a fan of the looks, but it sounds like it could be a good bike.

I really like the looks of the half faired one... I'm not sure if it's a real niche though. It seems to be targeted at people for whom the SV's basic spec is good, but who want a better all round package and a bit more prestige, and can afford it. I suppose technically that's me
![]() I think it's to replace the old BMW street 650s if I heard right.

BMW have noticed how well the TDM 900 sells in europe and decided to try and copy it .
Problem is they made a **** job of it ![]() and on the BMW build quality. I have also read quite a bit about rusting frames , broken welds , etc. (All off the ukgs forums) perhaps in there attempt to drop prices they are finding they also have to cut corners to compete. ![]() |

I guess there will always be examples of any bike or model that unfortunately do not wear as well as others. Today a guy out with us was on a 99 registered BMWR1100S which apart from the last 6 months lived in the U.K. That bike is absolutely immaculate.

I actually like it. Certainly would give it a go. Better than the ER-6.
A bit 650 Bandit which is ok in a bland way. An interesting design for sure. But I think the price will be taking the phish for such a basic bike. And it probably has the speed and handling of a bouncy castle. And therefore no-one will buy it. And the SV will be safe for another year. ![]() |
