A BMW is killing the field in Superstock 1000. #1 is like 100 points while #2 (a honda) is like 46 points in the standings. The BMW has won all 4 races they have run. The WSBK boys are far from stock. The Superstock are much closer to the real showroom floor bike.

NIce. Still haven't seen the Aprilia in person, but I can say the BMW is fucking sick.

The RSV4 is fucking sick in person.....

But I'd take the BMW for street/track use. Oh no I wouldn't forget it.

Aprilia = consistently the best styling of any manufacturer

I'd even buy an R1 over the S1000rr. The R1 sounds 10 times better, especially with an exhaust.

You can get the s1000rr for 15730 MSRP for the abs/traction control/quick shifter model. Left out the alarm option. You can't even get the baseline RSV4 for that price MSRP.

$ for $ the s1000rr is a better value and option for a stock model.

That's for the top of the line BMW vs the bottom of the line RSV4. Try more like $5k difference when you go to the RSV4 factory. That's a whole SV.
