Elegant compared to the 1250GS, i.e. a bomb in a Lego factory. It's not just that bike, the whole industry seems to have a bitty design language at the moment. It makes my K look like something from the future. I'm sure it gets more compliments now than it did 28 years ago.
Both those bikes look good! Modern BMWs elegant? - more brutalist, functional chic, perhaps?
I spent altogether too long putting the top end back on the RM last night, only to decide to take it off again. So it goes sometimes...
