Mine wheelies ok ....... must admit that the gearbox is not the greatest, does it bother me? No, if it goes in the next 2 years the warranty will cover it.
Had a couple of changes since i last posted
Fitted the BMC air filter and PCV, 200.34bhp at the rear wheel
Ohlins steering damper
Harris levers
Watsen design flush mounts
MRA Screen
Austin Racing slip on can ( for track days)
GBRacing engine covers
All in all the BM is turning out to be a great bike, jury's out with the traction control as i'm riding it with it turned off all the time. I don't mind the traction control but it the wheelie control that is a pain in the ar$e not letting you stay at full power.
At least BMW had the balls to bring out a decent bike with decent power and give the Japs a kick in the balls or kick up the ar$e depending on what way you look at it. They managed to move the game on and now every other manufacturer is using it as a benchmark, starting with Kwaka next year and Suzuki the year after. I for one think the competition is good, we are all benefiting from it I will be taking the new ZX10 for a test ride early next year thats for sure

The BMW's do make a hell of a lot of bhp out the crate you have to take your hat off to them , make the gixers and the like look slow in comparison ...
you can get them over 200bhp with little effort so im told ...impressive
Great bike For BMW to get their first trip in the sport market so right was a real kick in the crotch for the Japs. At the moment its one of our best sellers for the Carbon fibre parts i just cant keep up with it all and i was worried the price might put people off.
We raced one this season and it was great 209bhp at wheel with only minor work...Fook me
Carbon nose cone and i'm waiting for the new sleeker 2012 tail to do in carbon... Thats about it for now, all running fine Just bought an 1199 Tricoloure but will be keeping the Beemer as they are such different bikes and the Duc has got to go some to get 200bhp at the rear wheel
