bike night...this being a bmw chances are the guy who brings it is gonna be a class a toolbox. Im talkin snap-on grade. I really do like the way the bike looks, but me and german cars have never got along well. I cant imagine this would be much different

I'm really digging it in green...but I don't know if I would want to make a long term commitment on BMW.
Either way...2010 is shaping up to be an interesting year (when I will finally go and get a new bike...leading contender is the CBR1K) |

I don't really care for the headlights. The sideview is nice.

My final word on it that Roadracing World nabbed an early delivered BMW 1K and spirited of to the dynojet dyno and it pumped 179 hp next to an 09 Gsxr 1K at 162. If I had the coin and wanted a liter race rep I would definitely shop the BMW!

But Dave, who needs more?!?! I mean any literbike 04 and up will shred a rear tire in alittle over 1000 miles...Anyway with BMWs history of build quality I dont think you could go wrong. OK that is my final word...

i cant think of many but in a bike like this the ego/benchracing chops are an important selling point. And you gotta figure if they did too good a job designing things and theres either not much to gain or even worse losses it'll hurt the bike with certain folks. I know id hate it if i couldnt fiddle. Anyway its all conjecture. Got a copy of the graph? I have my suspicions about power delivery but id like to check it out on paper. Also, any word on correction factors or dyno type?
