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

[oldwobbler]

Hi everyone. We'll be piling lots of miles on the new S1000RR this year. I'm running one as a long term test bike as well as racing one over the summer. We've also got a group test planned soon (when it eventually arrives). I've been testing and racing S1000RRs for the past nine years and the new one couldn't feel more different. If anyone needs any info during the year, just contact me on twitter (@neevesy33) or drop me an email ([email protected]). Cheers. Michael Neeves, MCN.

Fantastic addition to the forum.

It's interesting to look back on our first few posts when this mule broke cover...

Not sure I'd this has been posted elsewhere, or how true it is, but anyone seen this?

again, if it's been posted elsewhere sorry, or if it breaks some kinda forum rule apologies.

Any requests??

A picture of the ABS union under the lower yoke would be useful. It would be nice to know if you can use an under yoke type front paddock stand with the new model. If you get the chance, keep an eye out for the new 2D/M datalogger mounted on the rear seat unit.

Watched the vid this morning. Love the way he blips the throttle on downshift and uses clutch on upshifts as well.

Thanks for the duplicates...

Nice to have it embedded on the forum though. The one downside here is that it's difficult to use pictures and videos so the place looks a bit like an old geography school book!
