Hi! Soon-to-be S1000RR owner (~30 days out). Living in Nashville but originally from Nawlins (hence the username). Glad to find this forum, as I have a M109R and have gotten a lot from those folks, so looking forward to the BMW community as well.
Since I still haven't purchased mine, I am looking for some opinions on color choices. I'm torn between the red/white/blue and the black/silver schemes. Both are available to me locally and both are equally as appealing to me. Hoping to get a majority vote from you all that will determine which colors I go with.
ha! Yeah...huge difference. I did have a CBR600RR for a bit but sold that about 2 years ago. Had a great time with that but it was a little cramped for me (I'm 6'4).
Definitely a different riding style than my 9, but equally as fun...maybe even more so. heh heh! Still looking forward to the S1kRR and that fighter pilot feel!:wink2:
I live in the bay area and the heated grips have been the only thing that has allowed me to continue riding in the winter. They have been a lifesaver in all conditions. Great feature to include in these bikes.
In need of a new helmet anyway, but yeah, I want to get more/better gear than I have for my cruiser, especially since "lean angle" isn't something discussed much on those forums! :grin2:
In addition to what you mentioned, I am also looking to get a set of race leathers for when I get ready to take it to the track (though that's probably a little ways out until I am VERY comfortable with the bike).
Do yourself a favor and make sure to clean off the factory chain grease before you go out for a serious ride. Or if possible have the dealership do it . :grin2: Take my work for it that stuff will get all over your sweet new machine and rear tire if you dont. :nerd:
