Nah, different one.  It's a Monza pic.

Get on it then...I need to see that picture!

I gots work to do.  It's over on crash.net.  We need DMF interns so we can tell them to go dig for it.   

Edit:  Ok, so I guess I'm the DMF intern.  Nice darky, Ruben.

Maybe because most people will see only the taillights? 

Because that's all you see when it is on the lift in the service department where it will spend most of its time.

193 brake horse power

Too bad they can't / won't build a light weight motorcycle.

Not sure why you say this about the S1000RR.   

BMW is quoting the S1000RR at 455 lbs wet.  As a benchmark, the 2009 Honda CBR1000RR ABS is 462 lbs wet.

From the BMW website:

Dry weight of 404 lb. 450lb wet with full tank, 455.3 wet with full tank and ABS

Still not as good of a power to weight ratio as a 1098R...but not that far off, and a hell of a lot cheaper. Too bad it's fugly.

The specs I saw showed 450 lbs without fuel and if it is anything like their other specs even that is likely optimistic.

Why is the 1000RR the benchmark if the 1098R beats it by 50lbs?

Why is the 1000RR the benchmark if the 1098R beats it by 50lbs?

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