Just picked up the new 2016 s1k and I love it so far. Never owned a BMW before so I was a bit skeptical judging by their car manufacturing but so far so good.
Little about myself... from Orange County, NY. Street riding for just over 6 years with 2 of them on the track. Started on a 2011 cbr600rr then went to a 2013 zx10r for just over a year and now onto this beautiful s1000rr.
Does anyone have any feedback as to what aftermarket parts are a must vs not so much a necessity. Thanks in advance!
Welcome. What was your bad experience with the car's? Aftermarket options like all bikes are endless. this bike doesn't need much as far as performance upgrades outside a slipon. Best money would be spent on a gs911 to do ur own maintenance.
Thanks for the warm welcome. I am seeing the same parts popping up over and over rad guard, pegs, windscreen etc. So far I got some Motograffix tank pad, knee pad, front cowl protector, windscreen (not installed yet) and looking for exhaust SC Project preferably. Does anyone have the hook up on that? What kind of fender eliminator do you guys have? Also does anyone use Amsoil instead of Bmw oil? Thanks for the feedback
Congrats! I have what appears to be her identically equipped twin in my garage, picked mine up just over two weeks ago.
Just about to take mine in for the 700 mile first service and finally unleash the beast!
converted to the best.....i have been on japs and euros...within the super sport euros..this is by far the best bike...comfy, power delivery...handling.....not a big ducati fan myself....
Just like the title says... I was hit by a car just a short month and 10 days after enjoying the newly bought s1K... I am alive and a little banged up but getting back on my feet. I wore proper gear, leather jacket (Astars) Boots (Astars) track gloves aaaand jeans where alot of the damage to my body happened. The person hit me on my left side so my leg was banged up, foot was dislocated and has 4 fractures, still have no feeling in my knee area.. My 5th metacarpal neck aka the pinky on my left hand was dislocated and shattered due to the impact when I hit the ground... Shoei fulfilled their side of the bargain and saved my head from any concussions... worst part is 15 minutes prior to the accident I had installed the freshly new SC1 project exhaust as well as air filter.. I got out and enjoyed the sound for a little bit and loved it... I will try and upload some pictures of the damage. If you have any questions or comment just fire away!
