It was a buzzkill for me, too. If the bike had lived up to its looks I'd have bought it.

I thought about what you said miles, and wanted to quote you, but I didn't.
Here's the kicker.
Later in the afternoon I did take a ride to the BMW dealer and sat on a 2014 S1000R, matte blue in color and equipped like yours.
Tons of room, cruise, shifter, heated grips, TC, ABS and other goodies.
That's when I thought, miles was right.
(I'm going back and read your review again, bastard.
