New 2019 BMW S1000RR: Rumour, Gossip and Intrigue...

Sounds good, at least you hit some decent roads after the M Way...reports on the V4 are consistantly VERY favourable..

I'm exactly the same as you with regard to inline 4s.. theres nothing to beat that howl when you open them up, twins even the V4 just don't have it..

The Aprilia is a great machine..as you say, maybe better.

For me the best sounding bike out is the new R1 or the Ape V4 but sound alone wouldn?t make me decide.

I?m not a fan of the new RSV4s looks but I?m seriously considering my options now with the issues I?m having with the new order from BMW

I test rode the Gen 3 in the rain and muddy country roads in February and was sold because I didn't die haha!

Of course not.. my mates got an 07 R1 with a couple of Akro cans, it sounds excellent...

I?ve ordered the Sport. Managed to get ?600 discount off it - so pleased with that.

It sounds like the M-Sport is the popular choice.

Got a test ride booked for the 8th June - can?t wait!

I'm looking at end of July delivery at the latest for my M, "maybe earlier".
Dealer very confident the supplies are finally starting.

When did you order yours?

November 13th

Ordered mine Feb so it prob wont be this year then. :-(

New orders from last weekend are being scheduled for Oct/Nov I'm led to believe...so you should def get yours this year.

Ordered mines in March and I’m being told week 39 (end of September)

Ordered mine this afternoon and expecting it in September

Anyone know what the run in period will be and if there will be any rev/power restrictions during the run in period?

Almost certainly 1000km (620 miles). Limiter set to 9000rpm until first service. Recommended not to exceed 5000rpm for first 100 miles
