One of the "650" type bikes had a high mounted muffler on each side. One was a blank. I would never knowingly buy a bike with a dummy muffler. It made me wonder about what is going on at BMW. It was not the model Sibbo is enthusing about.

I believe it was storage space designed with symmetry in mind.
Okay, not as weird as Chuey's description made it sound, but still weird.

Yeah, the company that's so high on making headlights, and even fairings asymmetrical just has to make some storage that looks like a muffler so the bike looks balanced. Wacky!
