The autotoll looks ugly on the corner that's why I put it beside the rearview, but I am surprise that it fell off as I have a hard time taking it off my last car.
But that freakin piece of alu is damn expensive. Could it be like a M5 pricing thing, let's try to call them to quote the alu for the regular E60 maybe will be cheaper.

You are right that's why I am only looking at street bike now, I think the Hornet is a better choice if I want to change into a racing bike sometime in the future as the Hornet have the characteristic of the CBR 250.
But I like the VTR because the frame resemble the Ducati Monster.

i started off on a 1989 CBR 250 single R. 250cc is mandatory in australia until we get our full license.
One thing that i have not gotten use to is riding on hills and slopes. There are basically no slopes in Austraila, whereas HK island is slope after slope after slope. I'm 73kg 5'8" and have a hard time reaching the floor on the R6. The seating position is taller than a CBR1000. I;ve had it since 2 weeks ago, but everyday has been raining!! sometimes i wish i had my cbr with me.
I would suggest getting a smaller used bike then progress onto a larger capacity bike later on. At least when you drop it you it doesnt ache as much.
It doesn't matter if it's not "cool" to drive a 250cc, but at least it's gonna save your life later on.

Nope, not yet. But apparently it will be expensive, as it needs a new dash board, new windshield etc. Anyway, he will get back to me with a price and I'll keep u posted.
