I do think BMW needs to expand its line. In addition to the "big bikes" they need smaller engine lower seat run abouts. My wife would like a smaller version of the RT for example say around 650-800cc for example. I thinke they need an upgrade path so you can start out on smaller bikes and work your way up the 1200cc bikes.JetDoc said:Ah yes! BMW has finally invented the Universal Japanese Motorcycle.

The thing is, in today's market full of 2000CC+ motorcycles the current BMW 1200CC bikes are no more than midweights. An 800CC bike is not that much smaller. And if I can buy a Kawahonzuki 800CC motorcycle for less than half the price of the new BMW F800, then why would I even consider buying a BMW? Especially since all the unique and traditional features that made BMW motorcycles special seem to be missing from these new bikes.mwnahas said:I do think BMW needs to expand its line.
