My new ride

Ghosteh · 5 Jun 2012 at 19:59

Picked her up this afternoon. Absolutely blown away so far. Just a shame the rain hit after putting in 100Km on it. Not that I'm a fair weather rider, just when I've not had that much practice over the past 6 months, and I have no water proof kit, I think it was best I parked it up lol. Hopefully the weather will improve tomorrow! We shall see though

.

Specs:
BMW S1000RR Sport
ABS
TCS
Quick Shifter
BMW Motorrad Colours
Akrapovic Slip on exhaust

Pics:

I'll update once I've had a chance to ride her properly. She still has the limiter on at the moment, got to do 500 miles before it gets removed, then I can go over 9000RPM, and then we should see the magic of the engine!

90k rpm? Beemers rev high eh

Nice bike and the exhaust isn't stupidly big and overly angular like some.

90k.. I have no idea what you're on about... I definitely edited my post for other reasons

Yeah tax free, plus MoD Discount, so saved around £4k, so can't complain

.

At the moment, no deals that I know of, as they're so new. Sure there will be ones around soon though.

I do like the reg, shame it's only a temporary plate though before I export it. Will get something new in about 8 weeks lol.

Has been my current bike to own since I saw the original out on a bike night in Poole. Never ever thought I'd own one though

I love the pointedness, looks like an angry wasp lol. A lot more angular than my GSX-R 750 K1 lol. But yeah, totally made up. Just want the weather to improve, and the girlfriend to go back to work, and I'll be smashing out the miles on it

.
Paid £11.8k, but that was tax free and with an MoD discount. Should have been over £15k for that spec.

MonkeykingZX · 6 Jun 2012 at 11:54

That looks awesomely aggresive, extremely jealous right now, enjoy!

Maz · 6 Jun 2012 at 12:06

Nice bike that. Mate has just picked one of these up, fitted an 'Austin Racing' system for him the other day, lovely bike to work on. Enjoy it

Buchanan0204 · 6 Jun 2012 at 16:52

From someone who knows nothing about bikes. What's the limiter for? So the engine isn't overworked when it's new, break it in gently etc?
