Congrats... be careful with that beast! :crash

 

Congrats on the new BMW!! :rock Looks sweet!! :fact



I'll take it over the current R1. :fact

 

WOW! Nice bike.:thumbup

Congrats!

 

nice bike.... What is that circle above the swing arm? Looks almost like an inspection sticker.

 

Tax disc ! Here in the UK, we have to buy road tax for each individual vehicle thats kept and/or driven on a public road. The tax disc must be displyed !!

Awesome bike, I'd consider buying one myself..... its just the front, why are the lights not symmetrical ???

 

Congrats on the new bike!

 

Thats friggin hot. I've wanted one since I've read all the reviews. The ugly green one cus' I don't think I'm ever gonna' be a Kawasaki guy. Those are the best views of one I've seen yet. Is that what version and is it stock?

 

shes pretty... Thats not the stock pipe right?

 

lucky bastard...

:hammer:

loking sharp, congrats bro.

 

What are the slots in the windscreen for just inside the mirrors?

 

Nice initial pics.

Now how about some initial impressions?

 

Beautiful, too bad you have to display that stupid tax disc and billboard license plate. Awesome machine:boobies

 

Congrats!

 

Nice toy

 

Cheers guys

Can't give any ride impressions yet as I can't ride it til Monday, when the tax & registration kicks in

I did post a review of the test ride a while ago though...

The tax disc holder has been replaced by my Titanium one and looks a lot better, not shiny like the one on the pics.

As for the number plate... it's as small as is legally allowed in the UK, 6x6". My Gixxer has a 2x5" plate which looks great but attracts too much unwanted attention. I'd like to avoid any... imperial entanglements

The pipe is the BMW optional Akra, as are the rearsets, levers etc. It's pretty well specced with carbon bits, but still missing the dark screen, carbon badge panels and carbon seat hump. They should all be on in the next week or so, when they arrive. I'm also going for a red alcantara 'hot seat'

Luckily the weather looks shit... until Monday when it should be sunny.

 

Looks great...!

As people have said before...."Be careful..!


Now one last thing............

Repost the pics with no number plate showing (MSPaint)

Don't want to advertise to everyone where it is.....



Very nice bike......very nice..!

Congrats on a beautiful ride, skeeter!

 

Great Choice on the Color!!! saw the Green 1 in person and eewwww..it was ugly!!

 

Congrats, looks like you have most of the bells and whistles on it already. Good start!

 

:thumbup:thumbup:thumbup

 

That sure is a great looking bike. I love the color, and (unlike most) I actually think the front end looks cool with the 2 different headlamps.

Alas, I did the BMW thing once and took it in the shorts when I sold it. I'm afraid that soured me on ever buying another. It lost half the value in 2 years (I guess that what I get for paying $16K for a bike!). I hope this model has a better fate.

Enjoy it!

 

I am so jealous :fact

Enjoy your baby and roll on summer :boobies

 

one reason i didnt want this bike is because i didnt think there would be many mods available yet but i guess i was wrong. unbelievable that those are stock options, sick bike. that pipe looks big. same shape as a gixxer pipe, hopefully its not 30 pounds like the gixxers.

 

Congrats for the bike!
really beautiful!
by the way i really can't understand why you guys are talking to stay safe!
every liter bike has it's own risk to be rided ...
and however european bmw are not too far in performance from the other liter bike:
http://www.motorbox.com/Moto/VisteeProvate/Prove_speciali/SuperbikeConfrontoCartagena.html?cnt=12245
every magazines state it has 170rwhp... but the other liter bike are in the 160/165 range...so not too much power difference here ...

 

I wanna know how the traction control feels, let us know and congrats on the german sexyness.

 

oh,how much does it cost in UK?
here it's in the same range of the rsv4r/r1 09!
without the electonics goodies!

 

Congrats bro! Very cool bike! BTW could you get a pic of the key so I know what it looks like? (the plastic part not the alarm) THX
