If it had more wind protection, I would pull the trigger.

That is good to hear. I see they sell a windscreen for it. If you get it, please post up a review. I really like that bike.

Under the seat, red button, JSNS.

Insurance? Yes, life insurance should be paid up. Please add me as a beneficiary. Soon.

Err, you do know that BMW engineers said for years and years that shaft drive was the only way to go... right? They have new engineers now, from Nabisco and Quebec. They know everything, except what the final product will be, (they aren't allowed to know that, it might hamper productivity).

If it's an RR, there is a Race mode that can be activated. RTFM and it may suit your desires, or not. (unless they have changed things since they first brought these out.)

The other is tongue in cheek, that BMW sells a chain drive bike is blasphemy.

They couldn't stick to their own marking beliefs.

 

[Fairlaner]

Its NOT the RR its the S1000R Super Naked as they call it.....It does however come with a Dynamic Pro key or something...

Just thinking... I'll bet that it's going to be a very LONG month for you my friend. I've never been good at waiting for something I'm buying. Once I get the itch, it's awful. Hoping for your sake that you're not like me in that respect.

Just curious, what's the weight of that rascal?

-- you ARE planning to put a CT on it, right?

 

[Ramblin]

Those s1000r motorcycles are great. You can option a s1000r with cruise control and an electric shifter.

It is somewhat ironic that the best bikes Das Motoren Werkes has put out in the past bunch of years have had chains on the back end. Is it, that... "What comes around goes around?" or "Simpler designs are sometimes better?"

Or maybe it's just "We suck at making final drives, lets try these chain things?"

Lucky man....and good choice!

Love my FJR, but for spirited rides the Beemer would be my choice as well.....funds permitting!!
