Saw an engine failure happen at Superbike School at VIR last month. Blew on the front straight and locked the rear wheel. The rider rode it out and VIR has lots of run off room there, so no injury. Superbike School guys said they didn't have any more maintenance problems with the S1000's than they did with the ZX-6's.

Seems to be fairly isolated issues but BMW's warranty has more than compensated many of the owners

the rest of the bike world would have you believe these things pop like balloons at a 8 year olds birthday party
