well i pposted this on GJ site so here's my review as i cant be arsed to type it all again and i should be getting mine in june/july fingers crossed as they are rare as rocking hores poo to find one in black as every man and his dog wants the white one which i dont,just to be different....
Well i went out today for a test ride on the new bmw and i loved it,its fast but dont feel like it and it go's around corners with ease,i was pushing it as much as i dared to as it's not my bike and it was solid in the corners and it was exellent plenty of feel what the bike was doing which was not alot very planted and stable,the power above 10,000 is stunning and it loves being revved and the brakes are good but they could be better in my opinion,initial bite on the brakes is strong but seems to ease up after a bit..??? they were also quite noisy and as i told the chap who tried following me they were noisy..???
Suspension was soft for me but still handled my weight easily,he put it straight in to sport mode but would'nt put it in slick mode as i was like a loony on it within 10 minutes on it...lol...very very impressed with it,the faster you rode it the better it was,the anti wheelie was a bit of a pain in the arse but can be dialled out,the quick shifter got smoother the faster you go on it and the slipper clucth is as good as anything out there.a quick rider can be a quicker rider on it,im deffo going to get one as it suits my riding style perfectly its a very comfy bike and my mate whos a yamaha guy even took a shine to it and said it feels like a gixxer when you sit on it...lol,
I just revved the fook out of it and rode it like a hooligan screaming it down the gearbox and it just didnt get out of shape at all,i didnt have any issues with it at all apart from the rear brake pedal has alot of travel to it..???? deffo my next bike,,,,,amazing in the corners and more than enough bhp in standard trim aswell,its a screamer of a engine,compared to my k7 1000 it feels alot lighter and turns in faster and and feels alot balanced the top end rush is alot bettter but the k7 1000 feels quicker to 100mph in my opinion,it feels as light as a new R6 but screams like a highly tuned fireblade or gsxr 1000,fooking bonkers bike and beleive the hype it's awsome and worth the extra money in my opinion,also found out that they also have launch control on them but you have to do something to it for it to work which the salesman said they dont like to tell people about it..??? how true is this as i dont know..????
When i get one i'll get rid of the passenger foot pegs get a colour coded seat cowl and a r+g tail tidy and a akra evo shorty full system and a k+n or bmc race filter and pc5 and thats all i would do to it as it looks good enough as it is apart from the fugly headlights..........fooking awsome bike.!!!!!
