new BMW 450, street legal, 3 year/36k mile warranty
Fairly impressive. I have no idea if it is any good.

My stable is quite full.
I would need to clean and organize if I were to add anything. My wallet is empty. However, if I were to add something, it would not be that BMW.

It's not even on BMW's own website yet. Just the G650X, which is oddly similar. I wonder if they're going to drop the 650 when the 450 hits?
Sounds *great* -- 50+ hp, EFI, stainless frame (how f'in cool is THAT?!) concentric swingarm pivot, etc... but DAMN, $8k?

...started by a permanent magnet electric starter (a kickstarter is unnecessary thanks to a full size battery and fuel injection), ...
I like this part. Obviously they didn't anticipate someone like me riding it... I stalled the 450EXC so much at MR that the battery died and I had to resort to kick starting it!
