Revenge of the rumor!

Heck, I'd sell BOTH of Blackie's kidneys for it!  

Take 'em. They're fucked.

If you look at it from this angle the swingarm doesn't look any longer than any other BMW:

I think it's the minimalist tail section that leaves the rear wheel looking stuck way out there.
When I saw it in the metal at the Birmingham NEC show it looked fine to me. I think the exhausts could be done better but they wanted to emphasize the fact that it's a six cylinder bike.

I'd ride it!
