    New BMW 1 Liter bike!

    BMW has finally pulled the wraps off its new S 1000 RR superbike, and let's just say we're anything but disappointed. First, the most important bits: 193 horsepower at 13,000 RPM, 82.5 lb-ft of torque at 9,750 RPM, 455.3 pounds with a full tank of gas. For those keeping track – which is probably just about anyone interested enough to read this post – those statistics are enough to give the big Beemer the most horsepower and best power-to-weight ratio of all literbikes intended for public consumption.

    Damn that is sweet. I want the black one. I would love to trade up from my R1100R to that thing or even the K bike, gotta get something sportier.

    I could shave some weight off that bike and give it some more hp, what a SICK hp to weight ratio that bike would be!

    Actually that bike has the highest power to weight of any production bike. I was just looking at that bike on my R6 forum. I would so rock the green.

    I seen that, however you have to think of what others are doing with powercommanders ect ect.

    However when you start with the best ratio, add more power and take weight off...you're only going to better the ratio! or kill yourself

    BMW said the bike should be within 10% of the Japanese bikes.

    I like this thing.

    what BMW says and what dealers price is at are 2 different numbers....

    i.e. Gt500, Z06, GTR

    True, but in this economy dealer mark up isn't nearly as rampant as it used to be.

    I remember back in 2000 I wanted to buy a MR2 Spyder. The dealers had them marked up almost $10.

    Sure exotics are being marked up but BMW's intention it seems with this bike is mass appeal. To take some sales from the Japanese sport bikes. They aren't going to get that having them marketed up outta price. Japanese sport bikes sell more then Euro sport bikes mostly because of the price.

    BMW bike dealers are hurting just like everyone else in this economy. You f*ck around and start marking the thing up too much and they won't sell the way BMW wants them too. As a dealer owner you would have to recognize that and price them appropriately.

    With that said, I'm sure there will be places marking them up.
