saw the new s1000rr today

[Island Princess]

I have to admit it looks really nice in person. Didn't think the asymmetry would look good, but man was I wrong. Pics don't do it justice. I think that is going to have to come home to give my duc some company.

Do it man, do it!

doing a track day at phillip island next week, word is that there will be a race team there in the aussie superstock class testing their bmw rr.....sweet

 

[its love]

I have seen 3 colors in person...red/white/blue, the green and the silver----also sat on them...lots of cool stuff....id probably bought one of these if i hadnt just bought the R...but...its still not a Duc!

 

[Jam (:]

same here saw one yesterday and sat on it. i have to agree in person its really nice. hopefully i will be able to take it for a quick spin next weekend. said to be an incredibly bike to ride.

 

[commit.to.the.cause]

I too really liked the bike in person. Except for those headlights!

I saw the bike yesterday at Lonestar BMW in Ausitn,Tx. I like it for the most part, but there are alot of things that they are missing for that calibre of bike, especially with the BMW name tag on it. No forged wheels, cheaply casted wheels. Lots of cheap plastic bits. Subframe looks cheap, forks look cheap, swingarm is knock off from RSV's. Frame is knock off from last generating CBR 1000RR. Just could have been finished off a little better coming from BMW. I'm gonna demo ride it this week...so we'll see how the package pans out. I'll keep you guys posted.

so what color looked the best in person? I only saw the silver.

The race trim loks great,but it is a $1600 option

I saw one yesterday at the dealer, it looked good. Got the trackday with CSS on 3/15; I'll give you guys the real verdict after spending a day on the track with it.
