How can the Beemer be losing to a bike that is actually uglier than that itself? The Beemer would get my vote to win this tourney.

One of the best bikes in the world versus the best V twin race rep (sorry, 1098, you're still number two).

My head says GS.  But my heart says RSV.

Wow, close one so far.  Will the big GS go down in the second round?  Hard choice here.

Edit to say I voted for the RSV.   Thumbsup

Me heart sez the 'priller, coz it's so much fun on a closed track.  But fer realz, I think the Beemer's a better choice.  Ugly as sin (and the Aprillia is NOT ugly, damnit) but a better road bike.
