BMW S1000RR streetbike

I'm not concerned about the looks...I'd be more interested in the performance too.

alright, ive found a few other pictures and im gonna retract some previous comments. still a little awkward looking but i understand the look better now and its growing on me a little bit. def mad about the dash though. thought there was supposed to be a full digital layout but that doesnt seem to be the case

Looks oddly like a cross between a Honda..... with small hints of Kawasaki and Yamaha in there....

I'd definatly rock it.... but the headlight thing is still odd....

The dash is pimp. I'm not sure you'd want a full digital anyway.........the one on the RC8 is all-digital and that thing can hardly be read at all in daylight.

Well this is the KTM's........I could barely read it. Numerals too small and skinny.

At least with the BMW you get an analog tach.

rc8 dash is ok but the hp2 sports would have been a better comparison

The headlights are ugly as fvck but overall I like the bike. I may have to eliminate the cat when I change out the exhaust too.

As mentioned...I'd like to see some independant numbers on the bike and ride one but again overall....pretty slick. I do wish they had done something different with the headlights though...yuk.
