AlistairFinlay, What aspects made you think it looked cheap ?
Frame paint ?, Colour schemes/paint ?, Wheels ? Brake discs ?, TFT screen ?, Spoked wheels ? .

apoligies my question in post 81 should have been to FatBob99.

I thought it looked rather good when I saw it at MCL. It needs to be good though at those prices, especially after a couple of option boxes have been ticked.

and with a KTM390 Adventure R now £6k it looks very pricey !

the guy's knees are fairly bent, maybe he is 40" inseam. it's a road going version i would be looking for.

i see the spoked wheels are now on the accessories list at £1,025.
pity it can't be ordered ex factory fitted with spoked wheels.
how many bmw hours will the dealers charge for removing the cast wheels/tyres and fitting spoked wheels/tyres ??

Clutch sounds similar to the EFM auto clutch I just removed from my Yamaha WR250R

 

[leadfarmer]

Sounds like it’s based on the same mechanism as the front half of a scooter cvt but with clutch plates instead of drive faces

But it will loose more sales by being lardy than gain by being A2 compliant. In this country at least.

Good for the Aftermarket guys, add a chip swap exhaust etc... Just like the Harley Experience

Better longer vlog at the link below, just turn on auto translate for English subtitles. That clutch will take some getting used to, if it’s suitable for off road use at

Clutch sounds very simple .
You can’t stall the bike .What is there to get used to ?

@Arsey the Reviewer found it difficult to get used to the way it reacts when stopped on off road terrain. Let’s see how other reviewers get on with it. I may well wait for the Aprillia 457 to appear.

The last paragraph on Page 28 - above -- seems to highlight a huge issue.
Not good for a bike folk keep wittering on about being "great for begginers".
