BMW M1000

This is a pretty good video of the BMW M series bike.  It will be interesting to see if it really will sell as a street bike.  The specs say top end 190mph so way too slow for MotoGP. BMW is not in GP right now but sure would like to see them join in since they are a big time sponsor.  I would imagine their real race bike can tune to more HP and more MPH.  Im curious if a dealer would let just any wanker test one out.  Im sure it won't cost much   The brakes kind of look like the new leaking brakes on the 1250's.  It shows a close up at around the 4minute mark.

Think I read somewhere that it will be priced around 40K. I’d need to have FU money  to comfortably spend that much on a sport-bike that I’d only use a fraction of.  Two or three GSX-R 1000 Suzuki’s would make more sense.

 

The Hayes brakes have been a nightmare for both companies I’d imagine. I hope the 21 line gets the Brembo’s back.

I haven't really read about it, but could it be a homologation special for World Superbike racing?
