damn, I am an old fart! I don't want one. The riding position would kill me.
Same here. How long do you think it'll be before people come out with barbacks, lowered pegs, and tall windscreens?

OK, I really had no idea why Daytona would be hitting the target market better than another dealer. Just curious. From John's reply it appears that it is not the target market age wise anyway. Don't know if they were from others brands or not. I'm guessing mostly not and might fall into the BMW guy going for the new BMW. but that is just my guess.
I want one. I won't buy one. But I want one.
Florida is home of stoplight to stoplight riding and there is a very high ratio of sport bikes with a lot of bling.
I'd think that folks that purchase for the numbers would flock to the S1000RR.
Last weekend while I was in a car wash in Cheraw SC cleaning my 450 after the Sandblast rally I was approcahed by a few locals. One of the guys showed me pictures of his totally tricked out Hyabusa drag bike and then introduced me to his "rider". None of them had heard of the new BMW but when I started describing it they went for their smartphones to check it out.
i can't have one. *no* self-discipline.
Your intolerance is showing, Rob.
On the one hand, you think ice-riding an RR is the greatest thing since porn, but on the other hand, you spew public disdain for certain bike activities that you don't approve of, like burnouts, wheelies, stoppies, drag bikes, tricked out gixxers, and chromed out boulevard queens.
Don't be a beemer snob. We need to welcome all riders of all flavors into our "club".
You're better than that, rob.
Let's review.
Parts Fiche on-line? Max first
Free pick up and delivery in an enclosed van? Max First
Heritage Certified service and parts for vintage BMW's? Max first and still only.
BMW Burnout video on You Tube? Max first in 2002.

This has all been fun reading, but here's my take. If they sell a lot of bikes the dealerships are healthy, selling tires maybe fairly often too, and stay in business, and I can still conveniently buy parts for my K75, F650, and R1150R. And the company pumps more into R&D and comes out with other new models that grab my fancy and pocketbook. If all BMW did was sell parts to Airheads and old Classic K riders like me they would soon go the way of so many failed businesses. More power to them if they excite buyers, old, young, existing, new - whatever. Sales are good, whether my idea of a perfect long distance touring bike or not. I want one. I won't buy one. But I want one.
