It's here and will be available for the public. BMW S 1000 RR Super Bike

[hugh jass]

Unless they price it close to the Big 4 liter bikes, they are going to have a hard time competing unless it is as good or better than the Italian boutique bikes (Ducati and Aprilia).

dang thats a heavy 1000...

posts shit who dat?

R1 is 454 wet

Anyways,
headlights might be weird, but I'd ride that bitch anytime!

[tuNED318]

btw, how does it work for plates and insurance in the US? Could you guys give me some numbers?

Here it's up to 1030$ for high-risk bikes (whatever that means..) and 518$ for "regular bikes" (like the Z750 I had). Thats per year, and keep in mind that "up north" we can't ride all year long!

Insurance is quite high for the sport bikes, but somewhat cheap for the rest.

looks like you read this thread about as well as I did

[Ray Smoodiver]

Yes please. The mat black one that was testing for the SBK bikes looked evil as all hell.

[Wh33lhop]

I do not know what the hell they were thinking with those headlights. Needs aftermarket fairings.

Its not to heavy compaired to the other 09's. But its heavy compared to the 04 zx10 (hands down favorite bike I've ever ridden) 370 dry 433 wet with 187 hp. I think the 04 zx10 would shit all over it.

It looks like a fucked up lazy eyed honda f4I

Once I turned 25, full coverage with a $500 deductible on my '04 R6 was $11 a month. Previous to that it was around $90 a month.

Insurance is not required in FL as long as you wear a helmet.

That's insane.

[Erick]

It is, but I kinda side with Darwin on this one.

Those who want to ride like idiots, then by all means. I cannot understand what would lead someone to want to ride without a helmet. Heat and looking "cool" are piss poor excuses.

i saw this on top gear's news feed

almost 1000 bhp per tonne

[silversleeper]

Okay, BMW finally built somewhat of a competitor for the supersport bike market. Looks are iffy, but numbers a ridiculous!

But... What the fhuch is up with that name? Seriously? 1000RR? I thought this was some photochopped prank at first.

Besides, I'd much rather have the new R1.... Beautiful in every way kinda bike. Headlights on that are also debateable... I feel they look aggressive. Me likey.

[Rockinlittle325i]

I plan on getting a 600 soon, if I dont die, become crippled or get married I hope to get one of these
after seeing the quality put into their cars just imagine how a proper sports bike will be coming from BMW

[SamE30e]

That head light is a little wonky. But sexy bike none the less.
