Hmmm he hasnt posted back since posting the pic? Someone go look for him broke down?

I hope you got the quick shifter option.... that bike is absolutely kicka$$. The sound it makes with a full twist using the quick shifter is just plain sick.

Congrats on a killer ride man.

Should do like I did, Keep the Busa and just add the S1000RR, I have the 2010 version of yours. Love the motosport colors

I think I'm gonna be sick ... with envy!

Like others, I'm not a big fan of the styling, but the power and electronics are amazing!!

Looks great! Why keeping it under 5K RPM? Might want to red this link:
Break In Secrets--How To Break In New Motorcycle and Car Engines For More Power

BMW recommends this for the first 185 miles.

 

[andy and the r man]

Congrats! You only have to stay under 5k for the first 600 miles.

The first 185 miles are 4k and under. The next 185 miles are 7k and under. The remaining miles up to the 1st service (600 miles) are electronically governed at 9k. At the service, they remove the limiter and you can spin it up to redline.
The limiter is in place @ 9k. They just asked me to use the "Andy limiter" while following this schedule BMW recommends for a proper break in.

How's it compare for comfort?
Feel about like most 1000s?

It's not comfortable. The seat is hard and it's a long way to the clip ons. Footpeg position doesn't bother me even though I'm 6'1.
No complaints though. I knew what I signed up for.

Thanks! I did get the quick shift.

+1 I did the same thing. I got the 2010 Thunder Grey.

I just finished putting a Bike Monkey integrated tail light in and made new license plate mounts to clean up the back.

Wow, I knew after the first few came out that there was a limiter put on that was removed at the 600mile service.
I had no idea it went up in rpms with mileage though. Sounds like a p.i.t.a, but kinda cool too.

Cool, although uncomfortable for me anymore I like how the Hondas feel.
I'll get my turn on one eventually.

What I assumed.

Congrats on an awesome bike too.

It's funny how this bike has gotten so much time on this forum when it has so little in common with the busa. It's a not very pretty, uncomfortable, track weapon. It goes like a bat out of hell and for that I give it huge credit until the next superbike contender takes its crown.

....and yes, I would like to have one in my garage.
