Lord... really? Please tell me the first service is free then. If not, I can cross that beemer off the list. No way, no how is the Mfg going to lock me into spending service money at the dealer.... |

That is a nasty, nasty, nasty bike.
Glad you got it.
I can't believe it's a BMW.
Nasty looking bike. 9 outa 10 by what I've seen on Google image search (not 10 outa 10 because I don't like the shape of the frame, but that's just IMHO).
Is the engine just the same as the Honda/Kawasaki/Yamaha I-4's?

Nice! I was checking that out when I bought my 1100. The tail kind of reminds me of a scorpion.  |

I guess you're not going to be buying any new bike or car, ever, again then. There's always stuff that needs to be done that only the dealer can perform. Not much getting around that. |

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

I didn't care for the S1000RR when it came out but the white/blue/red motorsports edition looks pretty good.

Congrats and welcome to a new dimension in biking! I love my Ducati also but, as with everything in life I´ve got to try everything I can at least once. Congrats I heard these bikes are locked under 9k revs until first service. Is yours? The ones coming through now are locked at a max of 9,000rpm (plenty fast for running in the engine) |

If it wasn't for the Japanese you would be still riding around on British, Italian, German and American piles of SH1T. The only reason any of these countries bike manufacturers have lifted there game is because of the Japs. And dont worry Jap inc will be back doing it better and cheaper than the others.  Don |
