Ergonomics issues aside, I just don't need 167 HP. Zero to 60 in 2.8
seconds? Where can I use it?  Here in Oregon, land of tax limitation
measures, the state and local police have turned to speed enforcement to
finance their BMW's.  Last week I went to lunch with some coworkers and
EIGHT county motorcycle patrolmen showed up at the same restraint, every
one of them on a shiny black and white RTP.  It must have been
"saturation patrol" day.

Have we had any firsthand reports of riding position, etc? It may not be
that bad, and you know that the aftermarket will make bar riser and so
forth...
