neverdie Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Seems Beemer is getting reading to unleash a 1000cc superbike to tackle the GSXR's, R1's & zx10R. Check out the technology in this baby: http://www.thebikergene.com/sportsbikes/bm...r-2010-s1000rr/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyR1 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 wow that is a seriously fugly bike! the dash looks cool but other than that it's the typical ugly beemer look IMO. what's the expected retail? i would guess that it will be double that of the jap liter bikes which will put it out of contention straight away.

imaneggspurt Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Best BMW EVER in my opinion, very nice,......they are trying AT LAST,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSJ Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 The price is Au$31,xxx plus options and on the road costs. Where is this one made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbox Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I always liked the bmw's but was always thinking their sportsbike weren't really my cup of tea...but this one looks fantastic....simply amazing. mbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelmate Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 The front end is very odd! Use of different style lights!! Think I will pass on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBikeBKK Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Absolutely amazing specs, but whoever designed that front end should be drug tested and fired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lickey Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 For many years ive admired BMWs engineering, but the price has always held me back from buying one, I would think this bike is based on the WSB racer, they have strugled to get in the top 12 finishers this year, even with riders like Reuen Xaus and Troy Corser, and until this bike proves itself on the track, it wont sell very well outside Germany,, PS, does Germany still have a 100hp limit on Bikes?

submaniac Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 PS, does Germany still have a 100hp limit on Bikes? I hope not! I'm getting excited. Manufacturers are moving closer and closer to the 200bhp mark for literbikes! Muhahahahahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinLOS Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 For many years ive admired BMWs engineering, but the price has always held me back from buying one, Bike mag claims it will be in line with the jap bike pricing..

neverdie Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) Great to see some of my ole biking mates are still alive and well, although some of your responses sure made me laugh. wow that is a seriously fugly bike! the dash looks cool but other than that it's the typical ugly beemer look IMO. what's the expected retail? i would guess that it will be double that of the jap liter bikes which will put it out of contention straight away. Ant R1, How could you?? The seriously fugly bike on the market at the moment is no other that the last couple of years worth of R1's....thats one of the reasons you've stuck with ur current ride, isnt it? Still cant beat the Ducati 998S As an avid Ducati man, I can only say wake up Jay.....have you seen the new Ducati 1198S. Absolutely amazing specs, but whoever designed that front end should be drug tested and fired Coming from the KING of bikes with an Ugly front end....YOU MUST BE RIGHT !

neverdie Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 ..and I thought you were a tuk tuk guy, neversaydie No No No, not really, yes I ride a little scooterbike here in LOS, but I'm a small man with a big appetite for SERIOUS HP! I don't really like the styling of this Beemer, the tails tidy, the side profile is okay tho I dont like the shark fin & would of preferred seeing the two headlights match BUT the SPECS of it sound fairly impressive, have to book in for a test ride on one of these when they are released back home. The low 30ies price tag is about as reasonable as it comes from BMW & kind of inline with what you might expect to pay for a Ducati or something similar.

neverdie Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 Great to see a beemer with a chain. Interestingly in some of the video shots, it looks like a different front headlight set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neverdie Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 The price is Au$31,xxx plus options and on the road costs. Where is this one made? BSJ, I am going googlee eyed looking for where its being manufacted, could only see one reference stating that it was being "manufactured in close cooperation with BMW 's Eisenach Plant" so ive got no idea, sorry. Heres some more info & pics:- http://blog.motorcycle.com/2009/06/03/moto...ce-speculation/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverdie Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 BSJ, It is being made in Berlin. Here are some pics from the plant. (now hows that for service) http://www.i-bmw.com/showthread.php?t=20083 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSJ Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Thanks Neverdie. From the link one guy was saying "BMW S 1000 RR in Germany 15.150, - Euro incl VAT". If that's true they are actually cheaper in Oz. But not by much! A BMW made in Germany.....how appropriate. I saw it months ago and I still can't get my head around the front end styling. Some say it's quirky, I say it's crap! How come Benelli and MV and Ducati et al can make a bike that looks the business but BMW can't??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like they wanted to have 2 totally different sides.. I AGREE with both of you regarding the looks. I havent seen a beemer that I've ever liked the styling of. I hate the shark fin fairing on the bike and the headlights, seems they should of stuck with the front end on one of those original designs for this model. Once again, it would certainly seem though, this machine my turn a few head performance wise, about time for BMW too. For me sportswise for about 35k AUD, I couldnt got past the Ducati 1198S - looks superb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynabob Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 over rated and over priced same as their car's,no resale value,maintenance will not be cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon8 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 tail light is sweet. and by sweet I mean it reminds me of cheap (very, very cheap) jewelry on otherwise a lovely transvestite. Too bad the tail light has to be clear, BMW couldn't use that horrible M3 mustard green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
