That's wierd.... It's green on one side and black on the other! Darn BMW and their asymmetrical design philosophy.
That's to confuse the cops when they try to catch you and give you a ticket. They are looking for a black bike and you show them the green side when they catch up. -Cody
catch up???? to a BMW??? i don't understand... the only thing that can foil a BMW is a fire hydrant... :022:
Popular mechanics take on this bike: http://www.popularmechanics.com/automotive/new_cars/4345659.html I like the part about the "rain" mode. Drops you down to only 150hp.....
Hey Steve... I was talking to you about this last night.... I wouldn't say it's totally ugly... I think the basic lines of the bike are okay... and I really like the taillight.. Bikes nowdays kinda all resemble each other.. It's cool to see a manufacture not afraid to go "outside" the safe relm... Maybe it's different in person... but looking at it from the side it was kinda growing on me..... I wonder what the upkeep would be on a Beamer bike tho.... it's prob like $120 oil changes. $160 air filter (dealer install only)... damn german stuff... It also looks like it's touting itself as the highest HP 1000 ever... wow
BMW S1000RR... the most furious liter size I4 ever offered to the public... good for 16th in the 09 WSBK standings...
The thing I won't be able to get over are the headlights, but that's BMW. HP isn't the highest, as the GSXR 1000 has 2 more HP according to manufacturer's specs. I did take it for a test ride though. I just gotta say that I was extremely suprised.
