If you thought the R18 was something, check out the new M1000 RR.

Too much power for me! I'll bet it costs a lot more than the regular S1000R

I was impressed by the very slow video for what looks like a super fast bike. I could not own a bike like that and live with it's permanent look of disappointment at my not being willing to take it where it needs to go.

Well, I have to think my current bike, an F900XR, was probably disappointed that I was passed after every third corner during my time on the track. :lol:

Looks like it'll be around $32,990 (vs $22,690 for an M Package S 1000 RR), but then it's significantly more special than a standard RR. For the great majority of people, it's overkill. Heck, for the great majority of people, the regular RR is overkill. I'll keep puttering around on my old GS...
