They don't make that HP straight out the box..... mine only made 177 HP stock.
Most of the ones Ive seen down here make 180ish rolling stock.
What ever... Track yes, 1/4 mile... I honestly don't think so... I am looking foward to one pulling up beside me @ HRP.
im glad that bmw did this. It seems to me that this bike is all that and a bag of chips. Good. That way it will get the rest of the companies to get off their collective butts and produce something better. Competition breeds innovation. no competition breeds complacency.
Really though power wise what more is there to capatilize on when you are restricted to 186mph I agree the real test should be when they put them on the track. Imagine a busa with trac control and ABS
Cycle World ran their annual Master Bike issue devoted strictly to Liter class machines. The BMW was I believe 1 tenth off of there fastest quarter mile time ever tested. Don't quote me on the difference, I'd have to read the article again and I believe the record holder is a busa.
I beg to differ. Stock to stock. Would be real close.

While were reveling in the 1000rr, great bike that I bet it is...
Let's not forget the BMW concept 6 cylinder...Reportedly going for a sport tourer...
Better hope they don't (or do) apply much the same tecnology and make a
bonified Busa SLAYER...1600cc inline six...
Could be the bike Suzuki should have made for a Gen II...
Just a way out there thought...
Don't forget, BMW is not bound by the 186/300km/hr agreement...they can
run that thing to over 200mph if they want
