Is this BMW's answer to the Thruxton R?

Beautiful, but man those bars are low for an old guy lol. I'd be better off with the new R9T Pure lol

To me, the Thrux R is pure unadulterated eye candy. This bike, not so much. You'd think it'd have spokes and polished rims, not black mags. Guess I'm getting old.

This color scheme is not something I would chose. The white and that blue just seem to clash. Now, if the stripes were the German national colors it would make it much easier for me to warm up to.

I love the look; BMW's answer to the Ducati Paul Smart. I don't expect anyone will take this to a track day, though.

I reckon it's great!

Reminds me of a cricket for some reason. I like it. Then I don't. Then I look at it again and figure crickets are alright. Tomorrow I'll probably hate it. But then there's next week...

I'll keep my 1979 R100S, thank you.

Is this a picture of your own R100S? I can't see the stand.

A cricket fits perfect ! My son just bought a 2012 Thruxton. I knew they existed, had seen pictures of course, but never really paId close attention. He keeps it in my garage, so I see it constantly, what a great looking bike ! It really grew on me. He loves the ergos vs the T100 or my CB.
