I’m back! Have mine on order hoping it comes in January. The 2021 tuono factory is sold (broken, again fuel gauge sensor this time🫤). I think I was born for this bike. Or rather that bike was born for me 😊

47T rear sprocket will see it loop from the stop light everytime! Hehe

Wheelie control baby!

I'd like to see this engine find it's way into the XR

There is a patent applied by bmw for an m1000xr. So stay tuned. I have 2 friends awaiting rather impatiently for the shiftcam to make its way into the XR. Looks like it will be popular.

I assume it is the base price? Does BMW actually make a profit from these bikes or are they leading losers? Eye candy to bring folks to the dealerships so they can then sell them a GS, or "just" and R or RR.

That is not the base price. You can go on bmwmotorad website and configure one. $21k base, $29k above is fully loaded which undoubtedly most if not all of the ones coming to the US will be anyway….. that’s a staggering $9k less than equivalent M1000RR which you also cannot find not fully loaded here in US. So seems like a deal when you look at it from that perspective.

47T rear sprocket ! But did they change front sprocket size?

They most certainly did not! Will be handful!

 

[killerpitou]

ordered one, but with all that equipment, no tpms monitors......

I thought it did have tmps. If it comes with carbon wheels (the one you ordered) I believe it’s mandatory.

May be they changed their mind. It’s for the better however. I was excited when it came on the the K67 but unfortunately it is simply not fit for this application. Probably why they removed it. The bike will show an orange light on the dash if the tire is 2-3 psi below the recommended pressure. Which in the case of RR (and R I’m sure) is an absolutely insane 42 psi of pressure in the rear. Mind you that’s cold so once you hit it up you’d be at 45 psi and up (36 to 39 and up in front). Which is fine to save tires on long freeway ride ( why did you buy an R, RR??????) but also incredibly slippery and probably enables around 40-50ft.lbs to be put to the ground. No fun in the straights and try to do canyon carving with that I dare you, let alone track days! In other words you have to accept that if you have the system on, you will have the dash light on at all times for the tire pressure. That’s not ok with me and I turned the system off permanently on the K67. That’s ok that I won’t have to do that on this new one. Would be nice to have for detecting slow leaks but can live without it. Only mad that for the money it won’t have it but it’s of no material consequence.

Come to think of it they had to make the MR and MRR under 200kg and the useless stuff had to go. They well know no one in their right mind will ride one of these bikes with 42psi in the rear and 36 in the front so that was probably an easy decision for them. Doesn’t seem it would be a lot of weight that system but every onces count when you get down to the last few grams…..
Glad they chose to remove this instead of the grip warmers 😊😊😊

Just happened to me on the tuono. No warning as no tmps on the tuono and it sure was pretty squishy by the time I figured it out in the middle of i70 high rolling traffic. And these supercorsa 200/55 have nothing on the walls. Nothing! Once you’re out of air you ain’t moving. As you said and guessed I was “in town” about 10 miles from my house and got home with the bike within an hour. That’s the only of the 5 mishap with the tuono which is not to blame on the tuono 😊

Ordered a base MR 3 weeks ago. According to my dealer's regional rep, builds start in January with US deliveries in early Q3 2023. I hope he's wrong....

You’d be lucky (and I) if he is right….

for me end of Q1 would be perfect. Street bike is in the garage until at least mid April typically due to weather/cold in the fun spots….

 

[killerpitou]

What happened to all the promises of a January delivery when the '23's were first announced? Now it's March. Any bets if that will be pushed out even further?

Supply chain, great resignation…. As I said I’d be both shocked and delighted if my bike shows up by end of March.

 

[killerpitou]

Where did you see the promises?

I think that’s what the dealers in the 🇺🇸 have been told and told clients over last few months.

 

[killerpitou]

i want one of these. BAD

Stop by your nearest dealer 😊

 

[killerpitou]

Few more show up every day. I’m most curious about 44teeth one. They have released their test of the 2023 RR (which they were invited to test in Spain same time as well) but they have not released anything about the MR just yet.

 

[killerpitou]

March 2023 folks!

 

[killerpitou]

If there is a leak the system will pop a message, even with the 36 42 warning OFF.

Yes but every time you start the bike, you get a warning message because your tires are deflated from factory values…..that’s the really annoying part

 

[killerpitou]

With the warning turned off in the settings you shouldn't get any massage except if there is a leak

I had one of the first k67 and back then it wasn’t possible. You were getting the messages if system was on and iirc it couldn’t not be turned off. I’m glad that’s changed. If you can turn off initial messages but still be warned if there is pressure loss that would be awesome.
btw I would bet good money that the M1000R will have the system. They didn’t go like the MRR lightest possible with non electronic suspension, no RDC, etc.It seems the MR will have it all

 

[killerpitou]

If similar to the cars, if you reset the tire's baseline after adding or removing air it should only warn when the delta is exceeded.

Happens in winter when the temps drop causing the air to condense. If I add air I will continue to get messages until I perform a reset.

The bmw system uses a temp pressure sensor (measures temperature and pressure) and thus gives a temperature adjusted pressure which in return means you don’t get the low pressure just because temperature drops.

I also don’t recall an option in setting like in the bmw cars to reset the sensors/tire after adjusting pressure.

 

[killerpitou]

Still no word from dealer on allocations. Bikes supposed to arrive in March in US so should be imminent now.

 

[killerpitou]

Cool. Thanks for sharing. Are they coming quicker in Canada than US?
