Agreed. This bike is sexy, has gobs of horsepower, and has a very low center of gravity. The shift assist, traction setting, and raw power of it…. Dear God… Time to start saving $16k for all the bells and whistles, xD.
ot is the first attempt for europe and is one step forward of japanese.the japanese should sit down and seriously upgrade their bikes in all terms.noone says that 160 typical bhps ine the wheel is enought to stop.the ll lose their sales
When I first saw the BMW and its front I had the same opinion like you have… but after a while I really like the front.
I think this front makes the BMW special and everyone can see that it isn’t just another japanese (although i also like japanese bikes – dont get me wrong).
And traction control… I think everyone has another opinion about that.
Those who have already had some highsiders will really like that feature.
Gary is a pretty decent racer and has more experience than you have I’m sure. I saw him ride and yes, he can get his knee down, and yes, he shifted mid turn with his knee down. The quick shifter really is that smooth
What’s funny is how few Germans actually buy sport bikes. 90%+ of German bikes are enduro, tourers or WW2 boxers. So that means almost all the sales of this bike will be in UK and US. Poor Frenchies will have to have this bike restricted to 100bhp. Ha ha that’s 50% down on the true power potential. Poor little frogs. And thank you Deutschland for giving the rest of us a great bike.
no its not. from what ive found( this means all you haters who just hate on youtube, i admit i could be wrong) its 200hp at the crank but still at the wheel it puts out close to 190
Personally i don`t like the idea of putting electronic devices into a superbike. If i want comfort, i`ll drive my car, but i when riding my bike i want to drive that bike myself, not telling the bike how to drive itself, that`s why i like the japanese bikes.
The BMW surely is a hell of a great bike, but just not for me, especially with that front.

193 to be exact. i think this bike is good enough to go up against the japs big 4.

The part where he talks about changing gear when the sliding the knee… absolutely bullshait.. I bet he cant even slide his knee to begin with
January 26th, 2010 at 9:54 am
He speaks of Ram-air like BMW invented that for bikes. Kawa have been running that kind of airintake for more then 20 years now.

200 hp I doubt it!!!
January 26th, 2010 at 12:59 pm
Can’t tell you speeds for every gear, but 1st is up to 87 mph (140 km/h). As long as the gearbox is the same in the US and Germany.
