Though, If I have more disposable income, I would get S1000R before I get one of Japanese bikes. I just like the way BMW make hate-it or love-it design because if you don't have haters, you're doing it wrong.  |
Yeah, I absoutely agree, the Italians design some really sexy bikes. But to be honest, coming from a '95 900RR, '01 R1, '05 ZX6RR, '06 R6 then to a Ducati, I've got to admit, the 1098 is a pain in the ass to work on.
The dealer quote me $900 for a 7500 mile service so I downloaded the manual and did it myself.
I like the S1000RR when it first came out and glad to see BMW finally make a full sportbike. It's a beast but the exterior got old and bland really quick; especially those side gills. I think it's due for an update.
