Sounds fun.

Fun? It was like welcome to the 21st Century. I always wondered how my friend on his Gixxer could pass a car just before a downhill switchback. Radial mount brakes. And the ones on the S1000RR were awesome.

Surprisingly, there were a lot of young people at the demo. After I got off the bike a young woman asked me about the bike. I rambled on several minutes about the ride. There's not much fairing, but the red, white, and blue is stunning.

Now if BMW wants to sell a bunch of bikes, they need to make a sport/tourer with this same engine. Larger fairing, pegs moved forward, higher handlebar, centerstand, more seat padding, and a gain of only 25 pounds. As it is, the RR is just too much race for me.

So I thought the demo ride was the end of it, but this morning I receive a call that I won the free raffle at the demo. Did I win a bike? I ride down to the BMW dealer to get my prize. It was a BMW shirt, BMW hat, BMW money clip, and two BMW hat pins:
