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

[soofsayer]

Bit of wishful thinking on my part but don?t suppose that anyone?s been told that their bike will be earlier than anticipated now that bikes are starting to be delivered to the customers?

I?m still hoping I get mines in July when it was first expected instead of the delayed date of September/October

Dalkeith were asked to respray a Motorsport, Storm Black for a customer. Looks good but some of the details are now lost.

Yeah I was looking forward to seeing it in black Alex but it explains why Bm have not released it in that colour.

Same here, doesn't do the bike any favours IMO

Too much of same Black with nothing much to break up the panels, it's completely lost the definition and lines... always the danger with a single color.

just curoius.... the swing arm has the dots on it. . .. ...
Why?
Is this just to adjust at track? or will this adjust the height?

 

[alex]

Where are these dots?

And no, suspension setup is entirely down to the rider weight/usage there's no 'position' for track other than having Sag set.

It has an adjustable swingarm pivot on the M version if thats what you are referring to perhaps?

interesting comment about the fairing being caught and being broken already.....

Re: the ride. Because the modes are SO different to previous gens, Neeves said he rides in comfy RAIN mode on the road as it's more comfortable and you still get full power.

Full of it, his videos are getting worse Hicky didn't ride stocker it was a stocker motor with a kit loom and a superbike front end and a superbike rear end, if it was me and I had a gen 3 i would be keeping it.

What a bike but its going to require massive restraint not to ride everywhere at licence busting speeds, at least the gen3 did 'slow(ish)' reasonably well...
