Cycleworld is reporting the exhaust as 8 ounces lighter than the S1000RR rather than Jenson’s 8 pounds. I’m guessing it’s actually 8 pounds?

So… does this mean that the “S1000RR M” tested last year was really not an “M” bike?

Cant figure out the US price. In Canada it will be 35k with the M package and in the UK it will be 45k including the package. In any case its just too much for track day riders and club racers. for 25k you can have a great track build on an R1 or a GSXR or even a base S1000RR and you will get a faster machine that you are not afraid to crash. Also the article mentioned a limited production of 500 units but BMW social media is saying it is not limited so you might want to check with them Jensen.

It's sad, I can't get excited about race replicas anymore . Pass me the Honda Trail 125 writing, please .

We appear to be in the golden age of homologation specials.

I don’t see any mention of a Carbon Frame…. sadly I assumed with the previous HP4 and all that technology and manufacturing would move into this new HP4 Rac- *cough* I mean M1000RR. That said for this might not be a terrible thing for BMW and I hope they actually sell all of them (given the HP4 Race debacle).

I’d also love to know more about the race modes… they sound very cool (and WAY above my skill level).

Definitely some interesting component choices going on here, not the kind of stuff you would expect to see on a bike that’s going to be well over $30k usd.

Ah well, if this helps BMW get better results in WSBK then it’s all well and good.

I hate the color scheme. Looks like my daughter attacked it with her box of crayons! Why can’t manufacturers go back to solid paint schemes? Not all of us want to look like Tom Sykes!

A proper weapon here it seems; but for $35k, it definitely doesn’t have the fizz of something like the Panigale V4R or RSV4 Factory Spec MotoGP Super Edition.

BMW makes better Japanese bikes than the Japanese. And has been doing so since 2009.

I’m surprised they didn’t find a way to put that big a** ugly grill from the M4 on it. BMW designers seem to think the public is screaming for that look…

Less power than the ‘Triple R’ Fireblade? Honda were claiming 214?

The calipers are different units from Nissin, supposedly quite similar to those used by the WSBK team
