Yep, equally as awful as the V-Strom.

I think the BMW looks good but then, I once had a BMW 1150GSA and loved it, beautiful looking bike but not very well finished and unreliable. The yellow and black colour scheme in the picture looks cool but I'm not sure about the gold wheels.

Well I think it is the other way around... But yes. My 1050 has been taken for a BMW a couple of times

Never mind the looks, lets hope Suzuki don't copy BMW's reliability...
