Default Had a go on a BMW S1000RR!

I had the pleasure of taking the BMW S1000RR out for a spin today! I am ashamed to say its much better than my GSXR 1000 (Sssshhhh she's just outside)!

The most notable differences is the BMW is so much lighter and easier to flick into the bends and the braking power is unbelievable! She sounded good to thanks to a Yoshimura R77 slip on. Lovely tune to her indeed!

Here are a few pics!

That S1000 is my most favourite bike in the world... At the very top of my wish list.

I actually envy and hate you as I haven't had ago on one yet! There's one at my local dealership with all the extra's and I want to to just 'gasm all over it!

I really like the headlights, I prefer the non-symetrical look.

They have a very odd mechanical whistle when you hear them on track. Probably fun though same as any big bike how absolutely mental are you going to need to go to get anywhere near what it can do.
