Hey all, i am from MI. put my order in for a 2012 s1000 about 2 weeks ago.

prior bikes were (in order) 78 cb750, 1999 zx6r, 1998 zx6r, 2004 fz6 (new), 2006 sv1000s, 2006 zx10r and now sv1000rr.

been riding for about 10 years. i am a *most* weather rider but i cant hold a candle to the adventure riders.

i do track days (Grattan FTW) and dragon trips. just wanted to say hey.

i dont have the bike yet so no pictures...so this will have to hold you guys over till it gets delivered.

i ordered red/white with heated grips. didnt opt for the alarm since the dealer basically said it was pointless and i was retarded if i wasted money on it...i thought about it and i agreed.

im super pumped. i waited to see what BMW would do with this bike on the first redesign...and in the order of German tradition they refined it rather than a complete redesign (like the japs typically do, i ALMOST got a 2011 zx10 last year)

i ended up not getting the zx10 after my inside rearset SNAPPED in half knee down in the middle of the dragon, had barely any weight on it. it was made of pot metal.

sooo here i am.
