that.is.sexy.

That's the best deal for a motorcycle ever. The tech is insane. Wheelie control, abs, traction control etc.

 

[Riski]

That looks sick, but wheelie control and traction control......ehhhh no want....maybe abs.....

 

[Jean Ralphio]

im sure they could be disabled to suit the rider, no?

 

[utryd2]

Thats the first bmw motorcycle Ive ever seen that looked good. They mostly deal with touring bikes. Now Ducati and aprilila have some competition and at a few thousand dollars less! I like it.

 

[Jean Ralphio]

rocking Brembo's :coold:

 

[utryd2]

Im sure they can be bypassed or turned off. Bikes have had abs and stuff for a few years now. Im sure the wheelie control is like the suzuki power control. Same shit diff name.

Funny you mention that. Riski and I were just having a debate about what makes these particular brembos any better than say a tokico? Cant find any details on stopping distance comparisons.

 

[Jean Ralphio]

Traction Control
Throttle by Wire
ABS
4 settings that work with the TC, TW and ABS
193hp

 

[Riski]

Stretch it, lower it, tune it, and fucking fly!

 

[utryd2]

Thats a nice looking bike. If you really look at it, it looks like they built that bike from other manufacturers borrowed parts.
swingarm-cbr
tail-r1
front fairing-kawi

Either way it should sell real well at that price point.

 

[Outlaw]

Do want...

Yea but all those features aid in TURNING. That's what it's for. It would be the ultimate track and street bike all wrapped up into one. It also has different settings for the traction control and wheelie control

 

[tmbutitta]

[Jean Ralphio]

here's some guy stunting a brand-new one...im not a huge fan of the style, but this guy has amazing control

i don't know what tokicos are, but contrary to the popular belief that big brakes make you stop in a shorter distance as per those that only ever drive to the mall, the only real reason for going to bigger/better brakes is for heat dissipation.

sorry pal,the zx-14 is still the fastest production bike made!!It will be a long time coming before anybody will beat the japan bikes.

But bet its light as hell!!

 

[Riski]

Mike quite over your 14......He posted fastest liter bike yet?.....NOT fastest production bike

Im not scared of that 14 of yours.....Ill give you 5 bikes and the hit against my 750 only on this thursday is the offer good til

 

[LIGHTNING MIKE]

oh,he didnt say "1" ltr bikes,either way most newer "1" liter bikes are pretty much equel for power.

Do some research,but bang for buck,cant beat a suzuki gsx-r 1000!!!

Oh and the zx-14 was fastest production bike even before i got one,just saying.

 

[Riski]

yea most 1000's are the same power......but I like the BMW cause it is new n dif.....but love the Suzuki

 

[LIGHTNING MIKE]

yea its a good lookin bike,but i dont even know why he is looking at bikes like that?He can barely shift that cobra of his,i mean i can make a sandwich faster then he gets to 4th gear!!!

Handle your cobra 1st kid,then look at "1" liter bikes.

 

[Riski]

.........and we are off!
