Loud pipes and slipper clutches (new BMW)
 

The new 190bhp BMW S1000RR. Wow, just wow! This really is what Mrs Wyrdness calls 'bikeporn'

Looks like a F-117A in bike form. Wonder if it's invisible to radar :D

YUM!!! I see its got a chain aswell, when did BMW start using them?

=P~=P~says it all really.

Re: Loud pipes and slipper clutches (new BMW)
 

chains are more efficient than shaft, no gyro effect either, all about the power

Re: Loud pipes and slipper clutches (new BMW)
 

Very nice. Just a shame they didn't make it a V4. Id be able to live with one of those ha ha.

I dare say that bike would sell like hot cakes if it was competitively priced.... Only time will tell if its at the £9k mark.

Thats a great price for a WSB machine!! :smt110

Re: Loud pipes and slipper clutches (new BMW)
 

I think RC8 price band is more likely. Great looking bikes, I wonder how long it will be till they win the WSB title. Not long probably.

Re: Loud pipes and slipper clutches (new BMW)
 

Why hasnt it got a funny front end? I was rather hoping BMW were going to stick with their funny front end philosophy with their superbike

Can understand why they used a chain instead of shaft drive though.

Does it come with heated grips :king:
