The bike is WAY beyond what I would be able to appreciate on either the road or track. If it floats your boat, good for you.
As one who drives an older BMW coupe and is looking to replace it in the next couple of years I was looking forward to the new versions of the 3 and 4 series coupes. Good lord that new grill is ugly! I guess I'll save my money and get another GTI.

A most accurate assessment.
I have a 2003 Yamaha R1, it isn't stock, ported heads, exhaust, air box mods. Running stock cams because the aftermarket cams were toast, anyway, stock it runs 165 HP, maybe ten more in the condition it is in. I can't imagine the brain numbing HP some of these new bike produce, then toss in the computer stability controls. A ride on this M class would probably be a one way ride for me! If I didn't kill myself I would get locked up!

This seems to be an amazing bike but don't get carried away with thoughts of the massive horsepower. The S1000RR makes 204 hp and the M1000RR makes 212 hp, or so they say. So that is a 3% increase essentially at redline where most of us don't ride much of the time. It is the midrange torque curves and handling changes that will be the most important.

BMW Motorad has also trademarked the title "BMW M1300GS". An "M" Adventure bike?

welcome to the new BMW M. M stands for Marketing, not Motorsport. they figure anything with an "M" in the name will sell...for more profit.
look at the car line. every model in the line up has an "MSport", "M" and "M competition" version. heck there are now even "M competition SPORT" versions! LOL...there is an MCS version of the X3 SUV. REALLY??? it is an SUV!!
M means nothing nowadays. well maybe More Money for BMW.

The RR weighs 450 pounds. The M weighs 426 pounds.
The weight lose will probably be noticeable.
