About LinkBacksNot a fan of the new paint scheme, looks too busy. The original red/white/blue will always look best IMHO.
Hated the lights when it 1st came out, they grew on me greatly though and I think they actually look pretty good now.

They launched the HP2 so I dont see why they wouldnt launch the HP4. According to this article it will be out this year.
BMW S1000RR HP4 ready by the end of the year
^^ see my disclaimer re my expert status
I don't doubt that BMW will continue to improve the marque, but I'm still not convinced that paint scheme will ever be available. Well, maybe in a very limited edition if we're lucky. Don't misundertake me chief: if I could still ride a bike with clip-ons I'd buy one of them beauties in a heartbeat
I'd say the colour scheme is to pay homage to the HP2 and for that I like it.

Nope the sub frame is square tube.
The universe likes speed. Don't delay. Don't second guess. Don't doubt. When the opportunity is there, when the impulse is there, when the intuitive nudge from within is there, act.

Yummy! This could almost get me thinking about trading in my 675R...I said ALMOST...
Nah , I think I might wait for the extra 0.06 of a gramme to be removed and an extra 2hp at eleventy squllion rpm before I sign up , as I just don't think the corner exit speed will be quick enough for me to pick up the milk on Sunday mornings.
More pics now its official

I'm not an alcoholic, alcoholics go to meetings,
I'm a drunk, I go to parties.
Group buy, anyone?
Between us we might be able to scrape up enough for one at least, then scalp the fuck out of it (20% mark up sounds good) to some rich muppet who can't be bothered waiting
*edit* um, yeah..I stand corrected
