i had a go on the R version when they came out. For a new bike it’s real fun to ride. very playful and enough power. I liked it much better than a Monster 900.
stylingwise most ‘streetfighters’ are fugly to my eye. Yet another attempt to create a niche and plug it (after the neoclassics, superbikes, monobikes, street trackers, trailbikes, supertrailbikes, scramblers …).From the seat of a real classic bike, I like to see these fads implode on the shop floor.

I would have one of these in a flash! Looks like something 007 would be seen on. Minimalism is NOT always better as demonstrated here.

The more details I notice, the more I like this fighter. I disagree with the first poster. Minimalism is not necessarily the best kind of design.

While the boxer series has matured into a great balance of technology and refinement with the R1200R, the F/K nakeds have had trouble finding their design sweet-spot. I like this take on it.

I dont care what the neighbors say, that is one sharp looking fighter. The nod to track bikes with the race under-fairings.
I love it.

oh god. my eyes hurt. I thought one of the rules of good design was “Good design is as little design as possible”
