Bmw just emailed me.

I just received the same email from BMW Motorrad stating that prices would be starting from ?15,290. No further pricing details as yet on the M Package or options/accessories listed in the press releases.

Somebody earlier sent a link out to the full PDF doc, from that you get this:-

Options.
• M Package: Pro Mode, Motorsport paint finish, M carbon fibre wheels, M
light weight battery, M sport seat, M chassis kit with rear ride height
adjustment and swingarm pivot.
• Dynamic Package: Next generation Dynamic Damping Control DDC,
heated grips, cruise control.
• Race Package: Pro Mode, M forged wheel, M light weight battery, M
chassis kit with rear ride height adjustment and swingarm pivot.

So forged and carbon wheels as an option. And heated grips

The leavers and rear sets look nice in the vid above!!

Jesus, that's very option heavy. No wonder it's a 15k base...and now I see the forged option. Surely you can have the carbon wheels on a Red bike?

At least they kept the heated grips !!
No news on counter rotating crank then?

Yes - at least thats how I read it. The PDF has all sorts of stuff listed as options, (forged and carbon) but then gives the three packages above too. The package is just the starting point?

They are most likely a new BMW branded OEM Brembo caliper. As for pad layout we will have to wait and see.

They look like Nissin calipers and also look like a 4 pad setup to me.
Still,as long as they're still 100mm,changing calipers shouldn't be a problem.

Either that,or they're Bybro(teehee)!

Good point

I see the DDC is by Marzocchi..

Been watching some videos from the reveal today and noticed the base model doesn?t have the DDC, was kinda hoping this would have been a standard feature seeing as Bmw introduced it so long ago.

This is a pretty decent walk around too of which I?m guessing is the full M Model?

Doesn't mean it's rubbish, throw in some KTech mods (other brands are available) like the Superstock boys do and it could well be better than the DDC set up
