R nineT in brushed aluminum?

[Guth_imp]

To my eye both the R nineT and the Thruxton R succeed in part because they feature lots of nice attention to detail. A guy that lived along the route of my old commute owned an R nineT and sometimes I'd see it parked outside. I found the bike to be more attractive in person than I expected. I didn't know that BMW is now offering it with a brushed aluminum tank. I'm surprised that I like it as much as I do (I've never cared all that much for that sort of thing). For me it just seems to fit nicely with the overall styling of the bike. But man that seat still looks "less than comfortable". If Honda had never released the CB1100, I might find myself tempted by this version of the R nineT (that is if a used one for a decent price existed, lol.)
