this all sounds good until the next day and you open your garage door and there's a gixer in there.
I thought that might get a reaction, lol! I think the video says it all, just need to get a test ride lined up on a gen4 now..

Interesting Fagan has brake issues with nearly all inc the '19 RR. Seems there are inconsistent results with them.

Just got back from my test ride of the sport version. Initial summary of my thoughts:
1) Engine is definitely stronger everywhere (I have 2016 model). Revs up so fast and on the road at least you don't notice a big jump up into a power band. First service had just been done so had all the revs to play with.
2) As has been reported before, brakes lack the initial bite of the brembos, but give them a squeeze and they work well. More than enough for the road.
3) Quickshifter is a little smoother than the last one, especially going up the box.
4) Handles really sweet. Turns in quick and flicks side to side with minimal effort. Certainly felt less tired than I do jumping off mine after a ride out.
5) New dash is mint.
6) Only negative I had jumping off was the seat wasn't as comfy, my guess is due to it being narrower and not as supportive. Bum was starting to feel it after about 70 miles in the saddle.
7) It no longer veers to the right with the cruise control on dawdling through the 30 zones!
I pick up my M package on the 15th - can't wait to see how it feels with the carbon wheels on. Only 15 sleeps 'til Santa!

Thats interesting to hear as BMW have always been very strict on the rev limits before run in even on race bikes.
yeah, I thought it was 9k revs but he said no. He’s been running their sport in prior to the service before the bikes made available for demo

That's not what my dealer said tonight,when I asked him.
He said they are still rev-limited.He also said that BMW told them that demonstrators must be run-in and de-restricted.

For those that will predominantly be using their new S1000RR for track use, a reliable BMW race source has confirmed that ISTA/P ECU unlock codes will likely be available from BMW later in the year. As with previous model years, there will be codes available for both the new M Power Kit and M Calibration Kit.
