No doubt an "improved" price, too.

The pictures summed it up for me. Like...this is the way I'll be riding the bike, drifting through the corners...probably with a helicopter overhead and cars with blue lights in pursuit.
Who seriously does this? Or I should rephrase that...who does this when they are paying for the tires themselves?
Yup, the pictures summed it up for me. An expensive toy that makes me want to yawn.

I love the fact that it has a "FlexFrame".
Kind of reminds me of the Flexi Flyer that I used to have during the 1950's. It was like a wooden snow sled with small wheels for riding on pavement. It used rotating handlebars with metal tabs that pressed against the front solid tires to (sort of) stop. Now there was a dangerous device, especially when ridden on the street as most were. I wonder how many children were killed before that thing was withdrawn from the toy market?

The original Schwartz Wald Troll
On the old R bikes the frame flex was real Like it was hinged. One reason they were referred to as rubber cows

The other reason was that their suspension components were designed by a 1950's Cadillac engineer.

"their suspension components were designed by a 1950's Cadillac engineer."
And manufactured by Lucas in England.

On the off chance that the new S 1000 R makes you day you ought to have the option to get one from spring (2021) for £12,055, or on the off chance that you extravagant the Sport, £14,000 (along these lines, to be reasonable, significantly not exactly the previously mentioned Streetfighter and Tuono). Mention to us your opinion.

Those pictures of the bike being "ridden" put me right off it.
No matter how good it might be its NEVER going to find a place in my fleet, nor will I ever ride one myself.
That is just the image that will get bikes banned.
