Does the front suspension travel look reduced to anyone else?

In reply to Angel Post Coitem. BMW decision making at its finest. You will recall the buck tooth grille and their attitude about the criticism it has elicited. Also you will be directed to the sales figures of current bucktooth cars vs sales figures of past non bucktooth cars. Surly BMW being surly

Crazy to see A&R still getting the occasional articles up. Super hyped for this new M1000R.

I have been really liking BMW’s offerings lately. I actually could see myself on one of these new BMW’s. Which isn’t a statement I ever thought I would say.

The S1000R/M1000R and F900R are good looking bikes. Now we just need a M900R wouldn’t that be neat. Great platform just needs some Hp behind it.

In reply to hunkyleepickle. They've switched to Nissin now (front calipers and master cylinder), the Hayes had a bad habit of leaking and they had a bit of a recall action on that. Yes, Honda (who owns Nissin) puts Brembo on their top tier bikes, but BMW considers Nissin to be good enough for their "M" bikes. Not going to argue or hate, those are probably just fine for regular use but it still something to ponder upon.

In reply to Our_Man_In_Bangkok. Indeed. Though you can see where corners have been cut (brakes, suspension, etc.). Then again, the Tuono V4 Factory is sold at a similar price (in Europe at least). And with all due respect, even though it's down on power (on paper) in regards to this, it's a better bike.

Cheap of them for not having sprayed the subframe in white on the white model. Not a fan of full sticker deco on a naked bike either.

In reply to hunkyleepickle. Hayes, according to the design matching the 2019 model which had that and the news announcing it at the time

are the front calipers Brembo or Hayes? I see the rear is a Brembo, and i know BMW has kind of backslid on some models to Brembo, just curious. My GS came with Brembo fyi.

In reply to Our_Man_In_Bangkok. After reading the whole article and reaching the MSRP figure I can't help but agree with you. Specially compared to the recent Street Fighter Lamborghini Edition madness.

So is the regular s1000r going to get any upgrades?

Considering the current madness of bike launch prices… this seems like a bargain in comparison to some others.

I’ve got 40k miles on my 2015, this is first bike that has tempted me to trade it in…
