I'm supposed to get a call soon to test drive one, as soon as they get the keys. Hmmm.... I probably need to call them tomorrow, oops Tuesday.

Riding up the ramp and dyno readouts are all nice and all, but last I checked these bikes are suppose to be "superbikes". Soon enough we'll see how they fare in WSBK again. Maybe BMW can come up with another excuse for finishing near last.

I'm sure that the excuses will be similar to why the "Best Bike in the World" CBR1000RR can't do shit in any race series or why the supposedly spectacular MV Agusta F1000 isn't competitive. Apparently, it isn't always the best bike that wins the races/championship...

Give me a fucking break.

Why the hell can't some non deutchbags toss a vid up on the interwebz so there isn't duetchbag music blaring, completely drowning out sounds of the actual fucking motorcycle being ridden.

At least it wasn't godawful nu-metal.

I wish they'd learn to edit video. The first 1:30 of the video is them pulling up in a truck and unloading the bike. Wow, exciting.
