I certainly won't be complaining if the new model is physically smaller that the current version.

It's a photoshop, look close it's exactly same back end and exhaust as a R1

Don't know about the R1 back end, looks like a Chinese 125 to me...

In 2009 they ran S1000RRs in GSXR & R1 bodywork. Just saying....

I wouldn't read too much into it until you see the new model released at Intermot towards the end of 2018.

I reckon that's the S310RR

If that's an S1000RR, where are the gills?

I was thinking the same lines but the G310 and the GS310 don't have dual brake calipers?

Intermot is a good show, have you been?

Never, is it a good show?

I went several years ago and it was superb. It's far better than Motorcycle Live which is fairly poor in comparison. It will probably be worth visiting in 2018 as BMW's new model launches are meant to be pretty good.

Re: New S1000RR spy photos?!?

I was thinking the same. The hp4 race won't be made in sufficient quantities for racing, so you'd have to presume BMW have something new planned.

I've heard from quite a few paddock sources, including one of the BMW BSB teams, that the new model should be very interesting indeed and will be well worth the wait. As for the HP4 Race, it isn't the quantity that precludes it from being raced it's the cost. At ?68k it exceeds the price cap set in the homologation rules so it can't be used.
