I 'googled' and found a pic. Swuuuuet. But seems a rather steep price. Other than the special paint, exhaust and ABS ... say worth $2500 ... what's so special on this baby? Base price ~ $10K right?

Some 'HP2' tweaks and upgraded suspension perhaps.

But coming to think of it as much as I like the F800s, for that kind of mullah I'd just get a DUC 1098 even though overkill for me. Or a std F800 and go to town on the customization.

Maybe the little cover over the rear seat costs $2000 like the BCR bellypan??

Good fine of a pic Kevin.

I think the math doesn't add as I have all of the same options except the Akropovic, and that and the paint don't add about $5500 to the price, but it is nice looking.

If you're interested in F800s, have a look over at http://www.f800riders.org . This picture was posted there a couple of months ago.

My guess? AU Dollars. BMW-SA and BMW-AU* are often the first sources of information about stuff like this and if my experience with MCN and the VUN is any indication, someone was in a hurry to publish and didn't check the facts. At today's exchange rate, that's about $14K which makes more sense.

*AFAIK, Emissions regs are easier for them and they usually get the first bikes.

It's (from what I gather) only available in the Netherlands. It *may* be coming to additional countries in Europe, but I have yet to hear about it being bound for the US.

Additionally, there are some candid shots of one of these on F800Riders.org. It's a pretty sweet looking color scheme.
