BMW S1000RR - LotusTalk

Exigent · 06-09-2009, 01:00 PM

I just put my name on the list and spec'd a new bike for delivery. Is anyone else interested in this particular bike? BMW's first true sportbike. 193bhp - that's about what my E30 M3 had !!

LotusDuude · 06-09-2009, 01:19 PM

Just about how much does it cost?

Exigent · 06-09-2009, 08:15 PM

MSRP hasn't been announced yet, but BMW says it'll be within 10% of the other Japanese 1 liter bikes. My guess is just under $15,000.

Allan Gibbs · 06-09-2009, 08:33 PM

You know the headlights don't match.

ms355 · 06-10-2009, 12:12 AM

MSRP in Germany is € 15,150.

When and if I ever decide to do a Carradine it won't be in some closet. I'll top that out then let it go. Maybe right into a wall for the best keyboard cat video yet.

It's about time. Considering the sport sedans BMW has been making for years, I have wondered why they didn't do a bike like this sooner. I think I'd put my eye out with one of these.

The headlight treatment caused me to

You know - I did a double take too. But it works so well...

Symmetry works really well on cars because even a Lotus has a lot more surface area than a bike... but asymmetry is where it's at on bikes. (eg. Single Sided Swingarm anyone? Not on this bike, but it is a cool point of asymmetry that works)

I really like the headlight treatment and the wicked rear end. Hell, even the different gills on either side are nifty. This is a gorgeous piece of art. Not MV Agusta gorgeous but definitely different, hard-edged, and sexy.

I miss riding too much

Exigent · 06-10-2009, 09:36 PM

More pics. I'll see one in person on the 27th.

Exigent · 06-10-2009, 10:15 PM

I ordered the tri-color (white, red, blue) paint scheme. I can only hope the production version looks something like this.

You mean you would dress up in women's clothes and do some autoerotica asphyxiation while riding a motorcycle? That would be great video!

A chain drive BMW is blasphemy!

They're building the bike to win super bike races and I don't think shaft drive is going to allow them to be competitve with the other superbikes. A 403lb dry weight isn't too bad and with 193hp, it should be competitive with the other superbikes. Traditionally, BMWs had powerful engines but were just too heavy to be considered a superbike in the Ducati, R1, GSXR1000, etc. class).

Traction control and ABS are pretty good features too. The headlights just don't do it for me.
