2020 Beemer Press release...

The Beemer looks like my 25th anniversary '12 CBR1000RR in the vid. Real life is a slightly different picture.
Not sure about that "closing the throttle when brakes are applied" thing - I ramp up the one while ramping down the other.

See post 13, first line. Virtually nothing is interchangeable in, on or around.

 

The Dookati koolaid is some extra strong drink. Dunno why they have to crap on every single thread about another bike which might possibly somehow be superior in aspects.

 

right, but it’s still an inline 4, dual swing arm, conventional suspension and brakes.... like, that shit is boring... ok, it’s a new bike with new part numbers but you’re not reinventing the wheel here.

 

yeah, i dunno why someone would come in a BMW thread and crap all over a ducati. weird.

 

To rile up the Dookatestes?

 

The CF frame on the HP4 is pretty bad ass.

 

Possibly? Pfft. BMW is playing nice. They prolly coulda kicked Ducati right square in the nuts when maneuvering for position on top of the mountain.

Ummm, actually, yeah, not even the wheels are interchangeable.

Maybe cuz no one else is on top of that mountain? Yer either fer or ag'in'.
Shit on one or the other, the result is the same...there are only two bikes competing for King-of-the-Hill.
(PS: I saw your ninja sarcasm. )

 

Dookatestes.
Nice euphemism!
Had time to think that one up while waiting on your 'Zuk' recall(s)?

 

It's the best part of that bike...frickin' gorgeous, too.

 

No, seriously, Dookatestes is funny as hell.
Too bad for other brands clawing their way to the top...the recall ledge is an huge obstacle.

 

That did it.

 

i'll give you that... along with the carbon wheels

 

Nice map. How do you intend to negotiate that Mason-Dixon obstacle? Ain't been a recall initiated in over 150 years...or in other words, ain't nobody got time for that.

 

We have already peeked inside the coding of the new ECU, both the USA and ECE version. There is coding for M Calibration kit (Will most likely use RCK Pro software and same VCI hardware) and M Power Kit (which unlocks race fueling and better maps). BMW have not officially announced this yet but it is coming.






If anyone is ordering one, I have a lot of race parts in stock for this bike already.

 

So are you losing out on any functionality by going with the base (non M package)? I know the M gives you extra pro modes etc., but will that matter after you unlock the base model via RCK?

 

Ahem....... It's spelled N8....how long you friggin' rookies been here???

 

Well "N8" and Melissa B passed me going into turn 1 at Daytona. I'm pretty sure they didn't touch the brakes. By the time I was in the Horseshoe they were already on the banking.



And they were on SV's. I was on the 750.

 

Nacht?

 

So for the USA as of now there are 3 packages you can get:
1. SELECT = Cast wheels, no Ride Modes Pro (user configurable settings)
2. RACE = Adds lighter forged wheels, Ride Modes Pro, lightweight battery
3. M Package = Carbon fiber wheels, Ride Modes Pro, lightweight battery, M Race seat,

Both the Race and M Package also include adjustable swingarm pivots.

If you were to go with the "Select" package you could retrofit the Ride Modes Pro as it is just a software update. You lose out on the adjustable swingarm pivot.
