Other car makers can at least come up with something decent.

There was of course Lotus. Did Mercedes actually make any of these?

As I've mentioned in another post I recently saw a BMW bike here in Guangzhou (not the M) and I was really impressed by the quality of the finish and the style of the bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've just realised those two bikes perfectly reflect the manufacturers cars
Lotus - stripped down track tool. With, in Colin Chapmans philosophy 'added lightness'
Mercedes - lots of gadgets and looks very heavy

Cant find any prices just now - but they already have a touring bike selling for 1299 Euro

Their current mountain bikes are around 3000 Euro

According to BMW: “Anyone who rides this sporty speed bike through the city or takes a short tour through the countryside will immediately attract a lot of attention − at least for a few seconds. The high total gear ratio transmission delivers astonishing speed.”

Er, what's a 'high total gear ratio transmission' when it's at home? And how does it 'deliver speed'? I'm in the saddle not in PR, but as far as I know, it's legs that deliver speed.

A description embedded on their site suggests that once you have received your bicycle there is some minor assemby work to do, such as

Attaching the pedals - OK
Adjusting the handlebars - OK
Inflating the tyres - WTF?
