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

Back on topic...I wish BMW painted far more side fairing. It looks like the lower unpainted section has grown in overall area. Honda and others do a much nicer job in this regard...it's not exactly a lot of bodywork to start with.

Have you seen the lower section of non ventureshield hard ridden track & road panigale?

Whilst I get that, Duc's are supposed to be hung on the wall, no?

BMW could do more without painting the leading edge...

When the business takes off (we'll be millionaires by next week, Rodney),
I'm gonna have a Panigale in Reception, a Norton V4 in meeting room No.1 and the S1000RR in the car park.
Dreamy...

I'm on my third Panigale, they're awesome machines but it's not practical to race the Pani and it makes more sense to have a BMW race bike that I can do track days on as well.

Something keeping you awake, Ry?
Make sure you get enough sleep or you'll be grumpy for the launch. Lol.

Forgive me if this has already done the rounds.... apparently out on test.

Brake caliper is definitely a different spec, maybe we finally ditch the 8 pad setup...

Not big enough for that, this is still a brembo product.

LOL
The biggest thing here for me is they all have tail packs on so must be doing decent mileage runs? I hope its as good at distance as the current one. (that may upset some!) Or is that just data logger stuff?

I'm seriously looking at my financial situation after seeing that photo this morning.

+1. One can only hope that they have ditched the really irritating 8-pad per caliper design.

Hopefully they have retained the 100mm size so my Brembo GP4-RX calipers will bolt straight on. That said if they have changed the pad layout there won?t be any need to switch calipers.
