A very good comparison for the R1S. I wouldn't consider one of these personally but it's a good benchmark for the R1S from an established player and almost certainly a direct competitor. Interesting that it appears BMW lifted their embargo on the iX today, not sure if it's a coincidence.
I think the R1S compares favorably here at a lower price point and with better performance figures (and better looks by a wide margin). There are things that the iX has that the R1S doesn't, but nothing that I'd classify as necessary considering a $13k higher base price, reduced performance, and less range (expected).
