probably because of the rumors that it'll compete (pricewise) with the japanese bikes, not the $40k 1098R.

Indeed.  During the early press events, BMW execs indicated that it would be priced within ~10% of the literbikes from the Big 4.   This has held true in Germany, where the S1000RR is priced only 250 Euros more than a comparable Yamaha R1.

Pricing in the States is always different (lower) than in Europe, but I expect that the BMW will have an MSRP in the range of $15k (or even less for a bike without all the options).  That's much less than half the price of a 1098R.

Really, if I offered you an RR or the Beemer, you really think you would take the BMW?

Uh, I'd take the RR.  I'd also take an 1198R, S, 1098R, etc.  I think you meant to quote the other guy.

It's the only inline 4 I'd have.  BMW knows a thing or three about making lots of HP out of 4 cylinders and for $14000 I'd say it's a relative bargain.

What BMW learns on the track will make it to production too.  I look to see Troy and Ruben doing better towards the end of the season.  They are holding there own pretty well now for it to be a brand new bike and all.

Looks like a pretty serious scoot to me. I'd love to know what it's like to have 190 HP on tap. [thumbsup] [leo]

What, are the side vents asymmetrical too? It's like they can't decide between two designs, so they just use both!

Yep, that will look good parked next to my 1986 Honda Civic! Yep, I had to let you all know that I'm a baller...  [cheeky] Some of you may get it. ;)

The only thing I like about the bike are it's headlights.  It looks like a Honda with an Aprilia swingarm from one side, and it has a hint of Triumph tiger on the other.  Not all that perdy.

I like it.  Better than the transformer referenced bikes that are lining the showroom floors at the moment.

Hopefully a less powerful option will be available ( and still look as great!).   [thumbsup]
