Hate it because I told myself I wouldn't buy another Roadster but I want one. I hate when that happens
Helen's comment as well
I like it, but still wondering why BMW is moving away from the paralever system ? I know of course there are improvements in hydraulics , and forks only are less weight , less complexity ...maybe that's reason enough ?
Saw a photo of one with side panniers ,...they look small ?...I never say never but I think I'll keep my "04" Roadster.
I would like to try out that 125 HP engine though.

I think you meant telelever. The reason is lack of space within their design constraints. They need room for the radiator. Adding both radiator and telelever doesn't fit the design they have in mind. Perhaps it ruins the visual balance.

I think BMW is trying to attract younger riders. The telelever is an outstanding front end, but not sporty enough.

This is par of the sport class now and the market demands telescopic forks.
What kinda' oil do you think they use in those forks Steve?The product manager in the interview claims the upside down forks do the trick...slightly paraphrased of course.
They are not /5 era technology forks here fellas. Ride it you'll probably like it and not miss the older design...or you will and be grumpy

I think 31 liters and 32 liters are nice size bags.
Well then at least they're the same as the system cases....just a tad larger would be nice though.
I also have a Victory Crossroad...not my favorite road bike...but I admit to being spoiled by the 40+ liter cases...they are just enough that I do not need rackbag/trunk...& I like the cleaner set-up.

At my age (68) I am glad to see BMW putting a little more emphasis on roadsters. They are easier for me to get on and off. They are a little easier for me to ride.
