Me thinks its to make you want the 19k option! Great sales tactics

It does look bland but that shot of the red one with bloke getting his elbow down looks fricking cool to me

Im sure the brakes will be perfect. What i mean is saying its to get a better performing brake is just sales talk. Its to save costs. I mean if you were asked when you ordered a new bike would you like bmws own calipers or brembos at no extra cost which would you choose! Brembos are expensive...

I saw chris at the show. I love his reviews. The other bloke sounds just like a sales rep to me. Ditched brembo in favour of better performing bmw brakes. Yeah right! It sounds like the greatest bike ever made lol. But seriously i love the dash. It looks so cool

I will test ride it as i test most 1000s but im not looking to have a track only bike so i dont think its gonna be for me. You obviously need to test before making full judgement but you can read alot about how a bike will behave by all the specs.

I forgot to mention the suzuki. Its got... 23.2 with 94 trail and 1404 wheelbase. I test rode the suzuki last year with 100% intention of px my zx10r for it but it nearly killed me on the test ride. I had a few tank slappers. I came over a crest and the front went light and it nearly spat me...

Brill pics. The inlet cam is amazing. Its splined like a gearbox shaft and it has 2 small offset lobes per valve instead of 1 large lobe. These are moved side to side via a slotted cam system. Looks very complicated and i cant believe it works but it obviously does.

After some research here is what ive come up with. Trail is the most important thing in stability. Rake has alot to do with stability and flickabilty. Wheelbase has simular effect on stability and change of direction but needs bigger changes to create the same effects as rake/ trail adjustments...

Can you get some pics of the shift cam setup mate? Its on the display engine. I forgot to get pics.

Just been to bike show too. Personally in the flesh i wasnt that impressed with the look of the bike. Actually appeared a bit cheaper looking than gen3. Nice riding position. Slightly shorter reach and slightly lower bars i believe. It doesnt grab your attention like some of the competition...

Rake and trail stability will never change. Its always been the same. Bigger rake and trail equals more stability and more feel but harder to turn. Lesser numbers means quicker changes of direction but lack of front end feel. Front end feel is what the gen3 doesnt have enough of so im a bit put...

I saw a video saying you can buy a m sport adjustable seat. I thought it as being a seat with adjustment to set the height higher or lower. Who knows. But ive just been put off by them rake and trail numbers. Thats radical numbers. Im struggling with the gen3 numbers at present so that could put...

Going to see one this sat a the bike show. Cant wait

Is it me or has anyone else noticed the rear suspension setup? It seems to have the linkage at the top of the shock!

I went to bmw this morning. They offered no information at all regarding the bike other than it wont be april until i get to see one. They took my details for a px and will let me know in time... As for height of the bike. This will be like any other bike that there will be after market lowering...

thats a good price that then. Yes it is alot to spend on a bike but if it ends up quicker than r1m on track its worth it. If the standard bike is faster than r1m then they win all round. Its alot to spend on a bike but if we already got a bike worth 12k and they are 15 ish then its not much to...

Not with carbon rims though

Unfortunately i cant get a test ride til april!!

They will sell a half moon with the after market clipons i recon. The bars are a tad wider. They are slightly flatter and slightly straighter than gen3. That was a good marketing thing to say its lighter than outgoing model. The gen3 started off lighter and got heavier prior to release of new...

Im very tempted by this new bike. I love the dash. Subframe. Compact shape. Lighter etc... More torque at lower revs. This is gonna blow the competition away. If its more road friendly than rsv4 and v4 panigale which i expect it will be then its got all others beat. Love no tail light too. Did...
