s100rr drag found this at their website but find it hard to beleive,if they doing 9.something,what would thei mph be stock standard? 165-170???
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Went to Gainesville drag strip Weds. night (test & tune) and best run on 700 mile bike was 10.75 (with a slow 60' launch @ 2.2 sec.) but with a BIG Speed of 155.72 mph !!! The modified Busa riders couldn't believe my speed. The top speed is indicative of the horsrepower these things make. This was the last pass of the night, 66 degs., 180lb novice rider. This was in 'race mode' with traction control on, shifting second, third and fourth @ 12,000 rpm. This thing ate a CBR 1000 (that got me on a hole shot) and I ran him down like it was a 600. He ran 140mphs all night with the same ET. Only a turbo charged, stretched Hayabusa had a better speed than the bone stock BMW. A nitrous, stretched ZX10 had a quicker ET also (8.9) but I had him on speed too. These things are freiggen fast, next week I'll try shifting at 13,000 and a few runs with traction control off. With a lighter pro jockey these things can get 9's. Anyone there yet???

Is anyone else as bored as I am about this new BMW? Yawn! Until one makes an 8 second SWB pass on a stock motor I will then raise an eyebrow.

I heard from a very reliable source that one of these ran 158 mph at Cecil, and the rider was not a flyweight either.

The front end looks like evolution gone wrong. Kinda reminds me of sloth from the Goonies. Yeah its a very fast bike. The stock 14 has the quarter, And from what ive read the 14 has the higher top speed. The BMW has everything els you would expect in a track bike, mid range, braking, handling, But the down side to some of us is that it has a healthy price tag for a track bike. And a weak clutch. To others this is not an issue if it is used for its intended use as a track/ super sport bike.

LATE BREAKING NEWS!!
the s1000rr is so fast that it's the only bike who's lap times are expressed with a negative number
when you do a valve adjustment on a s1000rr, the valves automatically get adjusted on any other bikes in the vicinity
actually, the valves on the s1000rr never go out of spec, the specs get rewritten based on its valve clearance
normal dino oil automatically becomes synthetic when used in an s1000rr. also its becomes fat free and tastes great over a salad.
the 1000 in the s1000rr name actually denotes the bike's trap speed in miles per hour during 1/4 mile runs, i mean 1/8 mile runs
the s1000rr is the only bike that backs it in with the front wheel
the s1000rr doesnt pose at starbucks, starbucks poses next to it
the s1000rr uses an rsv4 as a pitbike
you will never find a printout of a dyno sheet on an s1000rr because they havent made a sheet of paper big enough for it
the s1000rr is the only bike that can indicate a left turn and a right turn at the same time and then follow through
if you put an s1000rr sticker on your toyota, toyota wont recall it because its already awesome
the s1000rr is so awesome it collected jay leno
the s1000rr can not only do a 12 oclock wheelie, but it can do the noon and midnight versions

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

Bike is serious, However it's still a BMW, M-3 BMW's beat a lot of cars out on performance & handling, However you did not see many getting turned into race cars for the cost factor. Blow a engine & throw a rod threw the block,, Your season is over. Look at it this way, Suzuki, Kawasaki, & all the other bike companies have to step up there game now, We will all thank BMW later.
