Ya, my buddy bought one too.
The available skid from BMW is very pricey, he is planing to fab his own. The aftermarket exhaust (akrapovic) is also not for the penny pincher.
The seat idea is pretty smart. No foam or seat cover and still quite comfortable, Should never absorb water and break down
Not sure I like the gas fill in the seat. Fast pit stops with spills...can you say itchin and burning.
Suspension takes quite a bit to break in, once broke in its far too soft for your average 450 pilot on a GP course.
The rear license plate holder and rear brake light set up is gawd awful.
The rear swing arm pivot and counter shaft sprocket mated together making for constant chain tension is a innovative approach and seems to keep the chain slap noise down to nothing.
Looking forward to watch how these bikes hold up.
