Despite its sales success, I think BMW blew it with the RNineT, if that was their attempt at a retro model. If they could somehow shoehorn that engine into a R100S-looking chassis, I think it would be appealing.
The RNineT looks great from the tank forward, but from the seat back the bike's classic look just starts to come undone. That's the only reason it's not sitting in my garage right now. Well, that and the dealer being 40 miles away.
