This is tough.  If the BMW is really as much motorcycle as BIKE magazine says it is, then it's worth your vote.


But I know how good the SV1000S is.  Result.

I was interested in the parallel twin until I found out they were asking $10k for unadjustable suspension. What a crock - screw you BMW.  Twofinger

Hmm, vote for a bike that's been available for years and actually ridden in the U.S. or vote for a magazine queen of bike made from unobtainium.

Go SV!

This one is tough.  I like the thinking behind the BMW but I don't want to join the BMW club and it's not got quite enough power.  

Even though the SV1k needs a bunch of mods (USD forks, Pipes, rear shock, and MX bars) it still wins because it's something I could own and have fun messing with.

Same old same old from BMW. Twice the price for 3/4 (at best) the bike.

SV, thank you.
