I think it's good to have the safety net that the electonics offer, it let's you push our limits more and make the most of what the bike has to offer.

Although I think electronic rider aids in motorsport spoil it rather, by removing some of the skill required.

Wish I could afford one - was small enough to ride one - & had the ability to get the most out of it!

Otherwise....what a f***in fantastic bike!!!

[Sam_Y_93]

yeah i think its a fantastic bike, and 3 seconds faster than an R1 is impressive. Just wanted to know the opinions of other people on it as all the electrics intervene but as Noxious89123 says it is a nice to know that you can push it but it will keep you within safety limits.
Also the looks i think are great, i like the difference it has over other bikes, with symmetrical headlights it would just look like any other jap bike.

Look back ten years and compare its 'advancements' to bikes of our time and how theyve moved on!

Its a fantastic machine that will blow you away, whats not to like?

The S1000RR has a pretty neat party trick, amuses me no end. https://www.bmw.tv/com/article/BMW+S1000+RR.+Dinner+for+RR./New/video.do?articleID=7005&spaceID=2&channelID=2

Its a lovely bike.

Would have one if I could afford it.

Totally changed my original perception of BMW as a motorcycle manufacturer.

I presume he meant superstock, as he said supersport (and you’d expect them to win the 600cc class if they got in ).

It’s interesting that they are obviously closer to the superbike spec bikes, as they can’t seem to eek out a similar proportion of power as the other manufacturers can from their lower powered stock bikes.

Will be interesting to see if they’re still reliable in stock form.

As I’ve said before, not a big fan of massive power for fun on the road, but reckon for daily use it would make a nice easy do-it-all bike to cope with any condition you can throw it at – with all the toys to help you be even lazier through winter.
