fusion Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 from that SAME article you just postedsooo......where does it say the bike lacks in performance?“It’s kind of lacking off the bottom and the mid-range isn’t that impressive either especially compared to the Honda,” explains Atlas of the BMW’s engine performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 If you have a 1998 750 doing 187mph easily... I wouldn't trade it in.On a power stand point PROFESSIONAL drag racers beg to differ. They say it's a BEAST. Journalists never pursuade my thinking. Road racing it is too.

Steve Butters Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 “It’s kind of lacking off the bottom and the mid-range isn’t that impressive either especially compared to the Honda,” explains Atlas of the BMW’s engine performancei read that - but apparently, its not lacking enough if they sum it up at the bottom by saying what you have is a bike that no other production motorcycle on earth can compete with in stock form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 You guys are so right... I see your point... This is the best bike ever designed and will never ever be improved upon... I shouldn't have ever read professional reviews that pointed out weakness in its power band as im sure they are idiots at reviewing bikes. Where did you guys get yours from so I can go pick mine up tonight? I'm so trading in my slow pig of a Gixxer in immediately...thanks for the input...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhtSLRVEnwMyep, definitely slow. 10.01@150 right off the showroom floor - no tires, sprockets, pc, stretch, nothing.

NinjaNick Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 It placed 4th in one of the WSBK races too this weekend, which doesn't mean anything to anyone hear because not many can run it like that on a road course anyway. It's more than enough for anyone on the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 My point was not to dis this bike, I love it and it probably be my next bike, just not this year, I prefer a bike that has a balanced power band. That's why I have a 750 instead of a 1000 as its performance is balanced in twists as well as straights... my Gix isn't perfect either, I know its weak points and knowing them allows to adjust my riding to counter. You can't just hop on and say this is the baddest bike ever.thats cool - everybody has a riding preference, i know people who prefer 600s to 1ks because thats what they enjoy riding....nothing wrong with thatbut to say the bmw is lacking in performance when everything else says its #1 is inaccurate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Punk Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Yeah that may be true...how's it doing compared to the others in actual races?Oh look a CBR fan boy!

Steve Butters Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) www.motorcycle-usa.com/64/6920/Motorcycle-Article/2010-BMW-S1000RR-Comparison-Street.aspx5th paragraph of the engine sectioni already said i read that paragraph - did you not read the summary of the article at the bottom? apparently its not lacking enough power if they still rate it as the best stock bike in the world, even despite their comments about mid and low range poweryou said it lacks in performance - them saying it lacks in mid-low range power compared to a honda does NOT equal the bike lacking in overall performance, or in engine power.they say its noticeably more powerful than the competitors, and it performs better than the other bikes in other categories as well.their overall thoughts after going through all aspects of the bike were that no other bike compares to ithow can you possibly say that the one sentence in that article mentioning its powerband compared to a honda means that the bike "lacks performance" when even the authors of the article say at the end that its the top performer? even mentioning the engine in the summary.you jumped into this thread saying it performs poorly based on an article you accidentally read about the wrong bike - now you realized you were wrong and you cant just admit that you were wrong so youre still trying to argue that the bike lacks in performance, despite everything saying otherwise....its winning in races, its winning at the strip, its receiving top ratings from professionals and comparative studies aswell.... there is not one article or review or anything that points to this bike "lacking in performance"...it handles well, it brakes well, it is faster than the competition....what is "lacking"? mid-low range power? who cares dude - apparently it makes up for it in top end because its still faster and quicker than its competition.man up and admit you were wrong instead of continuing to down the bike based on an article about a completely different bike.

Lets meet up tonight and you can show me how fast your RR is...This is what I like to see, a man not afraid to back up his convictions. You all are lacking the balls to show others just how much you know like this guy does.
