Re: 2019 bike

Lads , got a 2016 bike which I use almost daily & love. I?m headstrong about keeping it.
I really should stop dipping into this thread..
Feel like a ex coke addict following Kerry Katona & Danniella Westbrook on Twitter.
It?s gonna end in tears & costing me dearly.

+1 Lol Rosso. WTF am I doing on this thread? Arrrrrgh. I can't afford a new one. I'm hoping it's tiny so I wouldn't fit on it anyway. Sour grapes...
ps. I love your tyres.

Re: 2019 bike

Hey I feel ya if the new one is tiny and isn?t a massive improvement I?d probably look either at a 16 or new 18.

I had no intention of buying a new bike I was very happy with the 16 and still would be if I had it.

That?s the problem with capitalism always wanting the next thing but gotta day I was happy enough with the 16

Re: 2019 bike

My opinion / guess is that the 2019 model will have 5hp increase in wheel power and at least 5kg less. It will have the option for DDC/HP wheels and MAYBE a pair of very expensive carbon wheels (HP RACE?). Also new dash (hope TFT color) with standard/optional telemetry and.. that's it.

My WISH is for even lighter bike (carbon frame in the next model maybe) and way better electronics that can be adjusted in higher level if necessary. I am OK with power:nevreness:.

With Euro 4 etc, getting to 199kg wet would be great...without the silly tricks like small fuel tanks.

1 bhp / kg is still a great measure.

2019 New Model

An interesting article but ultimately we will have to wait until either Intermot or EICMA...

Re: 2019 bike

Looks interesting Rys, cannot beleive it will have welded on pillion pegs but obviously the image is light on details, seems to have a bit of Ducati influence in the rear cowl area, where the front has a definite Fireblade look.

All just wee teasers from the marketing machine that is BMW HQ.

Thanks for the link.

Re: 2019 bike

Alpha Racing have published the same.
Not feeling it.
But equally nothing looks right, air intake is small, engine tiny, swingarm thin, look at the rear shock mounting...I am not sure this really is a 1000...

Re: 2019 bike

Exactly what I was thinking.

Re: 2019 bike

Looks classic BMW to me. None of us got the Gen 1/2/3 for it?s looks did we? IMO, it?ll be fine in the flesh with a few mods (de-catted, pegs and tail tidy). HP4 race already looking a bit dated, lol.
Now then, what colour shall I choose...

Re: 2019 bike

lets hope the electronic trickery and power is good.

Re: 2019 bike

the best thing i can see so far is the indicators in the front mirrors, bet this will be the only thing that changes when its produced. lol

Re: 2019 bike

That’s a mock up nonsense, bmw aren’t going to go backwards

Re: 2019 bike

Looking at the positives, that swingarm, if correct has to be shed load lighter, the weight is lower too, all pointing towards a real focus on mass centralization/optimisation when combined with the light weight tail section.

The bodywork isn't exciting and the lights are soo different its hard to accept at first, but I expect it will be good in the flesh.

2019 New Model

My deposit has been down for two months now and if it looks anything like the images I will be more than content. If it?s physically smaller than the outgoing model, which looks to be the case, then even better. To be honest I don?t really care what it looks like so long as it goes around a track quickly!
