The tire sizes and tread pattern puts it in the SuperMoTard class.

Thanks DJ, you just blew my Chritmas list to pieces!
A BMW RxxxxR Streetfighter - looks pretty cool. Is it a Concept Bike or a Custom Build?
And IMO, it looks better than a Buell, I've never liked that huge diagonal frame/tank.
I'm writing another letter to Santa as fast as I can!

Looks like the result of an affair between a BMW and a KTM....

I'm pretty sure it is a concept from Vyrus, called the Zen. Vyrus, as some of you may know, produce their own version of the Bimota Tesi.

Someone had to spoil the party...
...maybe there's an oil cooler where the headlight goes..behind that vent above those little lights..

any pics of the instruments? It looks like there's some sort of pop-up LCD or GPS attached to the tank.
