BMW have taken a rapid step in the right direction, what with their K1300S, S1000RR and F800R. Recently rumours have been flying around that BMW are to produce a scooter, possibly a hybrid. And while we know it's well within their means, we'd rather they concentrated on the sharpening the cutting edge of road bikes.

So BMW, if you're going to build a scooter; please don't make it look anything like this.

What's the going rate for printing ridiculous completely made up pictures like this?  Only my 4 yr old daughter has been playing on the computer and I reckon her designs are better....

 ...and more likely to make production.

I would buy one if the price were right.  But knowing BMW it is likely to be twice what it is worth.  (I have a BMW now)

Why is this any worse than an MP3? The Piaggio group are clearly trying to attract people from their cars wth such machines, so I see no reason why an already well estabvlished and respected car manufacturer with a great line up of bikes wouldn't be able to do the same with similar or better levels of succes... I'm all for it!

Because the picture IS of an MP3 to which some (non-)artist has added a BMW grille.

As I say, reckon my little girl could do better.

And there is also some plonker knocking out pictures of future Ducati and Tmax and some scooter concepts too, all of which look strangely similar apart from the manufacturer' logos. If I were them, I'd sue....
