Giles why don't you come down in January and we ride the Baja and I show you how useless your Tuono as a road-bike really is...

I rather have a washing machine because at least it is useful while the Tuono is useless on road and track...

Too upright and too slow for the track...Too useless without bags/centerstand on the road.And on top of that is has a bicycle chain and a crappy fork that only works half as good as Telelever....But it has soul.Why ? Because with a V-4 it sounds only half as good as a V-8 or as good as a crappy Ford 17M that also had a V-4...

And no the R1250RS is no modern R1100S...No Tele-Lever,not enough ground clearance,too heavy,not enough power for 2021 and not as good looking as the R1100S ! The R1300S should look like a S1000RR with Telelever and sexy underseat exhaust and have 160-170 hp with a fat midrange-torque curve and not be heavier than 220 kilos wet...That would be awesome and something to get exited about

A true SPORTS-tourer...Kind of a Ducati 950 Supersport or Aprilia RS660...But much better !!! A sportbike for the street as todays superbikes are only for the track...AS extreme as they have become.Best or worst example is the new Fireblade with clip-ons lower than the seat and a mid-range weaker than a CBR600...

And yes BMW employs great engineers but the guys in product planning don't have a clue want BMW riders really want besides obviously great products that sell in big numbers like 1250GS,RT and S1000RR,XR.
A XR version of the GS and a new S boxer replacing the R/RS and for sure no CMW F750/850/900 with taiwanese engines or Harley boat anchors with cylinders in the air instead of cooking the riders nuts...I wonder who came up with these great ideas that wasted time & money better used on better ideas and more attractive products that actually sell !
