Very Nice Video of BMW

Finally a boxer that isn't just for touring, crossing the desert, or tribute to BMW's past.

But the real customization options come from the modular frame, a four-piece tubular steel setup that incorporates the front main frame, rear main frame, end-piece, and pillion frame. It just takes a few bolts to go from roadster to racer to bobber. Even the rear end has three mounting points to change the taillight, license plate location, and fender, and the onboard electronics that handle the engine and chassis have been separated so riders can install aftermarket or BMW-approved headlights, indicators, or other electrical bits.

I'm not a bike guy but I can definitely see the appeal.

Not exactly my style. If I was going to buy a BMW, this would be the one:

However, I don't get all excited about the fancy electronics, so I'll most likely save some money and keep buying Japanese.

Yes, a shaft drive boxer is worlds apart from I4 superbike.
