The BMW claims to be at real-speed throughout the speedometer, even though it's digital. My R1 was saying 189 and his BMW was saying 173, but I wasn't leaving him...at all. I believe it. And his BMW puts out 192rwhp. I'll always think putting a street car against a street-legal superbike is comparing apples to oranges.

Did he get the dealer to engage the slick mode or whatver it's called engaged.

I don't know what you're talking about. What does it do?

The s1000rr doesn't run it's best when you first get it, it's very restricted. You have to get this plugin that will basically unleash the motor. I forget all the modes, there is like street, rain, race, and slick. Slick is the one that is disabled until you get the plugin to unlock it.

A stock BMW will do more than 173. It does get up in the 190s. A local got it above 200 slightly modified.

I'll have to ask him. His bike did dyno at 192rwhp though, so imagine he did.
