I wanted a G450X until I found out it was a KYMCO (Korea) with BMW badges and pricetag!

It is a pity that they dont source the bikes elsewhere - the best selling and most reliable bike they have made in the past 20 years was the rebadged Aprilla Pegaso, or Funduro.
And how exactly would that fit with the GS being the best selling model they've had in just about every year since its inception? I hear the S1000RR finally passed it for 2010.
