Everything people are complaining about with what has been lost with the 4 wheeled products has not been lost on the two wheeled products.
I just did 4 full track days with the older gen S1000RR in May and the bike continues to impress. From what I understand the current updated gen RR provides even more improvements to what I feel is an awesome package.
I wonder what the differences are with management philosophies/structure between the two divisions? One can say that you can't compare operations with motorcycles and autos. But I'll argue the M division would be a pretty close match and even with the M division there's been dissatisfaction.

BMW motorcycle is a true niche product, the rest is something they have to sell 2 million a year...
