Re: Liter bikes, need your opinion please

I'm with bubash on this. I would make sure this thing hits the market and doesn't explode(like the new r6 did a year or so..the rev limit issue?).

But one big pusher would be seeing someone tear one up on the track/stunt scene. I remember back in 03 my boy seen mladin on win the championship and went out and bought a brand new 1g.

I think its great that they got you trying to show them how the rest of the bike world lives. But I wouldn't mind heated grips on those cold stunt nights

Re: Liter bikes, need your opinion please

1000rr would be my first choice 2nd would be the zx10. The BMW looks nice but I am sure parts would be expensive and hard to come by.

Re: Liter bikes, need your opinion please

The BMW looks like its gonna be real sick but I gotta wait to see how it stacks up in a shootout before I would think about buying one. I just dont see a bike challenging the cbr. If that warranty is true though that helps out biiiigggg time! Especially want to see what it does on the dyno, the R1 supposedly had 170hp and in reality cant even hit 150.

Re: Liter bikes, need your opinion please

the warranty is def a plus and it would be nice to have something diff than just the same four of five bikes that everyone is rolling around..... i would only be worried about how expensive it would be for parts and how long it would take for them to come out with it being brand new....a matching helmet would def be a plus when buying and maybe even a nice discount on a jacket while your there....about the dealership thing when i had my m3 with prob 12 or 14k in it, when i would have to get something from the dealership, they would see a young guy not dressed like anyone in there and just give me the look like what the **** is this guy doing in here....wouldnt even ask me if i needed anything and let me just walk right by and not give me the time of day...then see what i got into on the way out and be all over my nuts asking about the car n **** and giving me business cards saying if ya need anything just call....so yeah the **** at the dealerships suck and that is a def downfall for me...but then again i wouldnt let some ******* salesman keep me from getting a bike that i wanted, cause if i want it im gona get it....

sorry this is kinda long but i would **** buy it for a streetbike just cause i like the looks and its not the same ole **** ya see running around...

but for that price it would be kinda hard to not to go pick up a new repsol..

i cant figure out how to post this but it made me laugh.

id say the R1 or the bmw just for looks but the more parts that came with the bike would be a plus to buy like stock adjustable rearsets adjustable clipons ect. that would help push me to one or another bike

the bmw brand has defantly got cooler over the years with bikes like g450x crosser, and f800r.and would be good if this go:s in to production the s600rr

Re: Liter bikes, need your opinion please

first thing i do is fender eliminator, steering damper, braided lines with motul fluid and a handbrake of course my favorite 1000 has to be the 04 05 ZX10 so if i was to buy a new liter bike it would most likely be a ZX10....

but if that beemer is as good as you say, i would need to ride one before i bought one....

Re: Liter bikes, need your opinion please

I've been a gsx-r 1000 fan most of my life until I got hold of an 05 Zx-10. Man I loved that bike. Power for days and great handling. Only problem was a little headshake but nothing a GPR stabilizer couldn't fix. If I was to get another liter bike I'd probably go with a Kawi again but I don't like the new look on the Zx-10. I'd wait to see if there was any major problems with the BMW and give them a chance to fix the issues. 193hp is insane if it's true.

I think tobacco companys should be more responsible and quit producing deadly products.
Dude, seriously you wont stop anyone from making there money.

But teach, if i had the money to not care about service and parts i would totally be rocking a 193 hp bmw on the streets. As for aftermarket parts, it'll have to have a good sounding exhaust atleast!

But as of right now i would be buying a 08 or older r1.

Re: Liter bikes, need your opinion please

1000RR all the way... for any number of reasons listed on here...

FE kit, stabilizer, exhaust, and flush mounts in that order need to be done to em...

and as far as why i wouldn't want the BMW... they have the same stuck up attitude as Ducs people... **** the "i am better than you" attitude, I fucked your wife, what now? The service on it would be harder (not as many stealerships), more expensive, and again you gotta deal with the stuck up ***** again... I like the 3 year warranty, but i'd be over the milage in 2 years... and the two HUGE things i wouldn't buy it for are 1) I think you said 13,800? sorry, thats 2k worth of **** i could be putting into my RR and 2) the first rule of technology, don't buy anything with a low serial number... let some other schmuck find the flaws first
