If your worried about carbon fibre scratches then don’t ever buy an M!

It is also easy to re-lacquer carbon fibre if it has minor scratches. However the PPF should prevent scratches.

I will agree Tony James xpel film is extremely good and the fit is the best I have used.

All XPEL PPF distributors use the same templates, so the fit will be perfect

Thanks for that, looks brilliant.

Were you not tempted to buy a complete trackbike from Alpha? Given that you buy most of the bits anyway, this had got to be more cost effective?

I know, shocking isn’t it. That ilmberger carbon isn’t cheap, it soon adds up.

I could have done, but I quite like building my own track bikes. The alpha Racing bikes start at €44,900 (excl VAT an Import Charges) which actually makes them quite expensive for UK based customers.

£38k does seem way too much. The alternative is to be able to buy the "blanks" direct from BMW. BMW sell Alpha a basic chassis and engine which Alpha then build up

For perspective to build a competitive BMW British STK1000 race bike your looking at £50-60k.

Invisible patterns do a more comprehensive kit than Tony and it covers the whole bike .. every piece for the M1000rr

Bikes looking good Ryan. You ain't scared to buy the right kit for sure..

@fast_ryan I have a question:
Is it 2024 model ?
Did you own the previous one ?
If so, can you summarize the differences ?
Cause I only drove 500 Km on the 2021 model.
I notices that the new one has wider firing and you sit inside the bike and not above it.

(I don;t mean cosmetic differences...)

I even do my track farings, especially the fork stantions, they get double layered.
