Anybody who thinks that bmw is a design statement is obviously a man with zero design sense. I'm not denying that it's not a great bike, it's just a horrendous visual design statement. The designers at bmw should be ashamed. Especially for a company that makes one of the most beautiful automobiles.

AND design matters a Lot. It drives human evolution on a grand scale, it differentiates humans from apes.

I'm really surprised that bmw could not come up with a better front for that bike, instead they justify it with function over design ......... What a shame...

Most ducati owners buy a ducati because it's art on wheels, but the haters won't ever get that because I'm sorry but you don't have that design appreciation sense. You don't need art, you just need two wheels with some big motor, which is fine, but please don't come on a ducati forum and try to justify how beautiful that pirate look is.

This is turning into some funny .... here. Pretty soon people will be saying that Chris Bangle designed the S1000.
