    Default Bmw builds a super bike?


    I know i'ts not a Kawasaki, but it's a new competitor. Check it out
    BMW clearly not messing around with 193-horsepower 2010 S1000RR » The Biker Gene Performance sounds impressive. Too bad it looks like a shark that got punched in the face with a tail light from Lord of the Rings.

    Its typical BMW design, but IMO, it looks good. I'd ride it for sure.

    Requires 95 octane gas, minimum. Can't even buy that around here.

    Looks awesome to me, and I love my beemers, but I'm betting it will be terribly expensive.

    you have to think, if thats in Europe then they have different figures than us. 95 there probably equals what, 91 here?

    and BMW has been racing their new superbike in the WSBK championship...i didnt think it was new news?

    Hate that green color, but I like the bike. it'll probably be cost-prohibitive to most of us. Beemers are usually pricy. Kinda like the Harley XR1200 or the Buell 1125R are so much more than a jap equivilant.

    Yeah on the gas question, EU uses RON, US uses ave of RON+MON (also called anti-knock index according to Wikipedia).

    "However most European pumps deliver 95 (RON) as "regular", equivalent to 90–91 US (R+M)/2, and deliver 98 (RON), 99 or 100 (RON) labeled as Super Unleaded."

    Octane rating - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    I'm really interested to see what this bike is capable of, it having the highest power/weight ratio of any liter bike. Even if in any color other than black it's ugly as sin, but then again I haven't seen it in motorsports colors yet. That puke green color is terrifying...

    Hate to say it, but I kinda like the green.

    I think she's pretty in a "jump on her seat and ride her for an hour" kinda way.

    I dont look at bmw bikes often, but is there a reason why the headlights are two totally different shapes?

    Looks like a shark that fell into a bowl of pureed salad and then got punched in the face for eating all my salad. It's probably gonna be priced close to high end ducatis, but since it's bmw, it's nowhere near as sexy.

    That BMW 1000 looks pretty narly, except I think they screwed up a tad on the headlights, someone must have been drunk on approval.

    And that "Hybrid" bike.. just wow. lmfao.
