Hey all!

Figured I would join up! Looking to snag a S1kRR here in the near future! Currently have a 2007 GSXR 1000 and have been scooting around on 2 wheels for a tad over 5 years now! Looking forward to chatting with everyone here!!!

Obligatory pic of scooter

Welcome to the forum!
Not a big fan of streched bikes, but yours looks clean. An I like the paint job! Any chance of close up pics?

Thanks! Honestly, neither am I haha, but its a drag bike and visits the strip almost weekly when its open. I stretched it as little as possible to get the desired results @ the track.

(7" currently)

Here are a few more pics, Its actually a vinyl wrap!

Before I wrapped it

After w/ some close ups for ya

Nice wrap man, looking good! Those metal wires in the last two pictures make it look like bike is in one of the corners of the ring...

Welcome aboard. That is a sweet looking ride! I had a 08 Gsxr 1000 before my 11 S1000RR.

Nice! How does the GSXR compare? I havent had the opportunity to ride a S1KRR yet, but as soon as it warms up here in Co, im taking the dealer demo out and may be purchasing one if I can find a good used one around locally

IMO, once you get moving, the BMW has lots of top end on the GSXR. The new ZX10 is the only bike that can run neck and neck once you get out of the lower wheelie-prone gears. (My experience is limited to road racing, so excluding bikes like the ZX14).

Welcome. Love the bike. I had a K7 prior to my S1000RR and I have to say, I love the BMW...by far my favorite bike yet. Not to take away from my K7, it was awesome and I loved it at the time. Great bike and super reliable.

Where in Colorado you from? I'm up in Berthoud, 33 miles north of Denver. FYI, I think both the BMW Motorrad dealers in Colorado are owned by the same person and when I bought mine, they didn't negotiate on price...unless you are active military (I'm prior military and they didn't budge on price). Anyway, just giving you heads up. Maybe you'll luck out and get a better deal than I. If you end up getting a bike, we'll have to do some riding and track-days this spring (I have yet to ride with anyone, so hurry up and buy one already

).

Good luck,

Jason
