BMW

I'm not a fan of BMW bikes (or cars, although I've had one and my son has had two), since they don't make a 250, but this new bike doesn't even have a rear fender so you can't ride it in the rain.

I actually really want to ride that thing. My local BMW/Ducati dealer is one of the nicest dealers around, so I might have to check in with them next spring and see if I can't throw a leg over one for a test ride.

Imagine sliding back a bit too far on the seat and catching your jacket on the rear tire. Fwooooomp.

I was totally going to buy this bike for my commute but now you're saying I can't ride in the rain? Pass!

BMW stole the design from this kid. I like the kid's bike better because of the single swing arm.
