For that kinda money I'd be getting the full factory options.

I'm also partial to the white scheme.

The green is awesome IMO.......The other colors are too common.

As for the lights, not many bikes look all that great from a head-on view anyway, so one isn't much better than the other. It's the side view that makes or breaks a bike.

Why would they offer discounts? It appears as though the deal breaker you may have is the bike itself, not the price. BMW sees themselves as above the, in what I believe is their opinion, cookie cutter Japanese bikes. They present their bikes as more refined and of higher quality than the Japanese. Along with that comes the belief that they have no need to come close on price either.

And they wouldn't need to either, because they'll sell every one of them without needing to haggle.

Oh but they are offering incentives on most of the other bikes in their line up...

yea...well apparently they funnel heat away from the rider while you're moving... honestly, I've never had a problem with heat while moving so... I don't know. The styling is not my favorite but I want something different and I believe that between the MV, the Aprillia, the Ducati and the BMW this will be my best bang for the buck option.

I don't actually care.
