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

you on the wine Stu?
Feeling suitably distracted from.. whatever this thread is about...I am now fixated on this engineering marvel. Initial thoughts were Boeing 747 and Concorde. The latter is the obvious choice for records... ?
Who me? Don't know what makes you come to that concussion stuart
Is it the Manx Norton🏍?
Got to love the approach from some owners when their bike gets superseded, it?s the same on all the manufacture forums, there is a always contingency of people talking down the new model. I guess it?s only natural, they want their bike to be the best.
The new rear cluster and combined number plate bracket doesn?t look the best, but that?s the case with all bikes from the factory these days. The fact the rear break and indicators are all in one means with a nice tail tidy it will look the nuts.
Plastics all look good to me, and so what if they a lighter and a little more flexible, ain?t that the point, people spend thousands on carbon, and if you didn?t know better, you could say it looked/felt cheaper.
I?m just glad they have go rid of that awful rear subframe!
Ascetics aside, this bike looks to be a major step forward and I can?t wait to have a ride. The torque curve sounds really impressive, and I?m hoping it?s good enough on the road to make me part with my SuperDuke.

After watching the video above and then going back to these numbers, I have to admit, the 2019 RR is a bit of an eye opener.
As is the RSV4.

No but that is a legend of a machine... thats in my top 5 of all bikes..
Well we seem to be getting hung up on this pretty basic machine... in comparison !
To go back to my original post..who will be talking about the new 19 RR in 50 years time...
Just a bit of thinking fun really... and I guess it is in a way bike related..

All the issues in this thread are 1st World nit picking...it's a golden age of IC based motorised transport.
Was it the Britten?

Ok it's not a bike....
This thing was built by a group of people that worked under a really famous engineer, they had a funky name for the sub division that they worked for...
It had TWO engines....jeez guys..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_SR-71_BlackbirdI just thought everyone was getting uptight about this new RR... When this astonishing machine was produced in the 60s... this is alien.. almost fantasy engineering, makes the new RR look pretty agricultural lol

Well stu, hats off to you for possibly having the most obscure off topic set of posts I have seen in a long while. One day someone will be reading through this lot and be wondering how much vodka and irnbru it took lol.
(Quite a bit I expect
). Have a good weekend.
