'12 Motorsport Pics

NORRYET · 11-23-2011, 08:43 PM

Just wanted to ask a big favor of anyone attending these bike shows....

I would be forever grateful if someone could snap some pics of the '12 Motorsport S1000RR. As you guys know, there are tons of red/white pics but not much out there for the other colors. I was just thinking that between all of us forum members, we would be able to come up with a good collection of photos of the other colors. Quite a few of us are looking into getting the new bike and frankly, those side view/white background pics just don't cut it for someone looking to make a decision on a 17/18 thousand dollar bike.

Thanks in advance!!

D'oh! went to the NEC show but forgot my camera.

The motorsport looks good. Like the new paint job. I was a hater of the Red/White from the photo's, it actually looked better in person. The blue, ummm...I'm not feeling it. It looks like the Rizzla blue with no gold/silver flake in the paint at all. It's just blue...baby blue. My buddy said he liked it but I didn't.

And the throttle on the new bike....NICE. Short throw and lighter return spring

That was a massive improvement, and apparently its not backwardly compatible

That's what Steve told me, guess he was the Tech guy working the BMW booth. Didn't even bother to say what's up to Troy Corser as I walked by him, Steve was the main guy I wanted to talk to. I was hoping he was going to give me some good news when I asked about that throttle working for previous models.

Yeah, pisses me off to be honest. BMW obviously realise its far too strong, but wont produce anything to correct it.

this is not surprising for BMW though, as much as I love the roundel they do have their failings, like all the K bike riders out there with the ticking time bomb of cam chains jumping a tooth and BMW wont recall them, we have to go out and purchase the jump preventer and install them ourselves

but I wont bitch too much since they did stand behind my engine when it went pop
