I'm very interested in the CE04 and add my vote for its own forum, thread, whatever it's called. My local BMW Motorrad dealer is actually going to carry them. They wouldn't touch the C-Evolution because of the heavy cost of service equipment.
Also, anything to make this overall forum more lively would be welcome, up to and including a Biblical reading of who begat who.
"(I bought) Every single thing on the list plus top box plus the jacket woohoo"
From my initial look at the CE04, the base model is not cheap (BMW, no surprise). It looks like a strategy to keep the base model simple to keep the price relatively low, while offering a ton of add-ons that could add up to a staggering out-the-door price. Features that are standard on the GT are now optional (read: pay more) on the CE04.
Does it plug into a household socket?
