The BMW R 18 Roctane brings mid-mounted ergonomics, painted hard side cases with integrated turn signals, and a new headlight housing with integrated gauges.
I see your point but I haven't read anything about how it functions. Are the BMW's better performers than HD? I liked the look of the first one I saw that mimicked an old r series BMW, but at the time I wondered why not just build a more faithful representation of THEIR OWN history rather than a raked out interpretation of someone else's.
Honestly, everyone tries to come out with a cruiser and eventually they all give up (I've got Triumphs version of it & love it). Outside of the other American brand with a historied past, Indian, I don't know why they even bother anymore to take on HD.
It doesn't matter that some may be better bikes in the end, the market just doesn't care overall for anything foreign in the cruiser segment.
