BMW R1800

[Grumpy Goat]

Andy Greaser points out that the wheel base would have to be gigantic to allow foot-forward (gynecology/lithotomy) positioning preferred by the cruiser/bagger crowd. Note how the jugs limit peg/platform placement.

Thank God that dumb "windshield-splat" riding position should not make it onto a BMW motorcycle. Looking at the picture, the normal seating position looks just fine and the bike actually looks very cat-like and muscular, instead of looking like a fat oompa loompa that certain bikes typically are.

I think that with the right colours the bike could be a better seller (in the US) than even our beloved RS. Sales in Europe would probably be slower.
