I'm with Huge on this - BMW are well invested in CF. It may not be the pretty stuff used in F1 / Moto GP but I do think some unexpected stuff will find its way onto the bike.

Thanks. Lots of people don't realise how much tech is accelerating at the moment. There's a graph on this funny blog which sums it up. It talks about AI, but applies to all the stuff us humans do.
My sons are thinking about their careers at the moment, one is heading for car or aero engineering, the other is computers. I'm SO jealous. Tech will be even more whacky by the time they have kids.

Back to the thread, the Gen 4 is going to be AMAZING, and this kinda sh*t is just gonna keep getting better and better and better.

Lol. I might not be dead by then, so I'll enjoy flying around on my electric bike. Actually flying, BTW...

I have a sneaky suspicion my pre-ordered 'Gen 4' is going to be quite expensive when I've finished ticking all the options!

Who advertises a reserve nowadays?

If those are indeed the specifications they are impressive, particularly unladen weight, especially when compared to those listed for the existing model (see weblink below).

Oh feck. There?s a tall seat option. [emoji51]

BTW. Is it me, or is Hill Hold for people who can?t use their clutch and rear brake at the same time?
