manxie49 Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 I just love this bike, M1000RR, just a dream though, short of winning the lotto £30k + is far too rich for me, and I dread to think what the insurance would be, probably walk out of the brokers, eyes watering, like I'd just been kicked in the nuts....Bennetts review makes for a mouth watering read, certainly competition for Ducati.... https://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial/news-and-views/news/2020/september/bmw-m1000rr-spec-price-photos?fbclid=IwAR3xEdnhlM1qwlMsNCuN9f5OaQLP6LRHDInbDWXSlonnPCraOl-shDazIXM Quote
S-Westerly Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 Well you could always buy the Chinese imitation 450! Quote
manxie49 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Posted September 23, 2020 Well you could always buy the Chinese imitation 450! I could, I would be too afraid to ride it though for fear of "what's gonna fall of next" Quote
geofferz Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 Why not get a normal one then? Still close.. Quote
skyrider Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 Well you could always buy the Chinese imitation 450! yes and see how long it lasts Quote
learningtofly Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 Without question a thing of beauty. Probably not for commuting in London though Quote
geofferz Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 If I liked it that much I'd just get this and be perfectly happy. I couldn't tell the difference performance and handling wise I'm sure Quote
Liveware Problem Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 I'd think for that price they would at least give you a custom paint job, not a bunch of decals on a white bike Quote
Gerontious Posted September 26, 2020 Posted September 26, 2020 I'd think for that price they would at least give you a custom paint job, not a bunch of decals on a white bike Ah... priorities.Mine would be a 5 year warranty on everything aside from consumables. And no... the shock absorbers and forks are not consumables. Quote
The Hitcher Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 Lovely bike, don’t know if it would be worth the premium over the normal M Sport version though apart from for the rareity factor?.The new S1000RR is really good, looks nice too, think the only thing I could ever see me realistically considering spending that kind of money on though would be a Honda V4, if only they would build one!.
