How does he describe the new telelever as a design point? The new one looks blocky like the 1100R. IMHO, there were some really nice design points with the outgoing '50R that could have been retained, or built upon, to make an even better looking bike. Instead, it looks as if they 'vanilla'd' the whole project.

First, a few BCC 'ism's

1/The bike you like the best is the best bike

2/Every bike I ever owned was the best bike I ever owned, while I owned it.

3/What do I know about style, I own a GSADV?

Ok enough of that.

The 12 clearly is a significantly improved bike compared to earlier iterations.

The telelever was prettier on the 1150

Those that try the 12 will prefer it. If they purchase it 'ism 2 kicks in. If they don't buy it, 'ism 2 also kicks in, conflicted with 'ism 1.

See? I hope I've helped.

I like the way you express yourself.
