That was done on a pre production and published in roadracing world. Glad y'all don't believe the numbers I throw out or anything.....

Yep I agree with you all for the most part.

If true this is pretty cool for BMW and the sportbike world imho.

I haven't seen the rev limiter in 5th or 6th on the R1 in a while...actually never in 6th. :lol:

German first year model and maintenance...yep both are concerns.

I am looking forward to the comparison test with the other big boys though...I must admit.

ABS would be nice....I think.

Did you post something about this bike?

The electronics are a concern for me and I hate linked brakes!!! As far as ABS goes... I kinda like doing stoppies once in a while.:lol: I'd have to ride it and see. I've sampled some of BMW's "innovative" ideas in the past and was not impressed. :idk: It's probably an old dog, new tricks scenario on my part.

I missed it if so BUT I don't post as much as some of you so maybe I did just miss it.

I hear ya...I would like to ride it at some point...I've never tried out ABS on a bike...or linked brakes.

Well I did ride a Goldwing but didn't test the brakes out. :lol:

Ya, there is a whole 1000RR thread somewheres else...

I've ridden a Blackbird a few times... yuck!:lol:

Pssst... I'm fucking with Azoom... shhhhhh..... don't tell her....:whistle:

I owned a ZX-11 and the Blackbird was the enemy. :lol:

Yea I owned a 'Busa which michael jackson both bikes!:lol:
