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.

Yup, the side grill is not really good, but I like to overall design. Heard that Panigale is going to be more powerful and lighter than S1000RR. This year bike shootout is going to be interesting.
