I liked the Triple Black in the video but when I went to the Configurator to build it, it didn't look like the one in the video. For one thing, it had cast wheels! 
If I am paying this sort of money for that bike it had better come with spoked wheels for a start. Also, not sure I like the star-shaped lighting arrangement in front. Gimmicky is what comes across. I do like some of the bodywork design though, and the lines are sweeter than in the past ... more Ducati-esque. Of course, the technology is great also ... love the electric windshield and the blind spot warning.
I don't know ... after seeing this today (and having completed my first "long" trip with the Tiger - fully loaded and two-up, no less) I am pretty glad I did not wait for this. Cost was a big factor in my decision.
