I switched from 2015 RR to 2016 R - I got tired of the clip-on and the aggressive forward position... I love the new torque curve the R offers and it's a pleasure to ride for long distances. It has quick shift up but I did loose the auto-blip downshift (sometimes i miss it).

Very nice bike. That low down torque must be a blast on the street.

But on the E4 stuff, heard a few rumors that BMW have the patents to making a carbon fiber frame so essentially they can put a more "environmentally friendly" motor in the bike and it still be as (if not more) powerful than its predecessor purely from the weight being shed in the frame :)

Sounds interesting if they can keep the price reasonable. If it turns into a 25k to 30k bike they'll loose a lot of their target market..IMO

Took a second for USD to AUD to click in my head :p but yeah I do agree with you on that. Or if they do another HP bike it could be on that just have to wait and see

For sure...should have indicated $$ in USD. I put it in the ol google converter AUD about 33,000 to 40,000. Hope that's close. Appreciate the comments

At least in europe the S1000RR disappeared from BMWs motorcycle configurator. While most other models show the updated version so my guess is that they are going to do another small overhaul. Maybe they'll add the R1 style six axis IMU. What it will certainly get is those ugly fork reflectors, some kind of fuel vapor filter system and onboard engine diagnostics (light in the dash). Also from what I read is that euro4 mandates that safety features like ABS can't get turned off anymore which sounds horrible especially for adventure bikes. 'Sorry, you can break on loose ground. That would be way to dangerous.' o_O I might need to get myself a used 2016 if the 2017 turns out all horrible, for now I'll continue to be optimistic. They do want to continue to sell bikes after all. :)

Thank you for the insight. The six axis IMU would certainly be welcome. I know my US model for California has a fuel vapor capture system, probably in the form a a charcoal canister with return lines to the intake. That would be stupid if they don't allow ABS off for the dual sports/adventure bikes and dangerous. I predict the future of emission checks on motorcycles too, as a new way to restrict/collect our hard earned money.

That or the Kawi 125. Better looking than a scooter, in my opinion. Just keep in mind they top out at around 55 -60 mph with a tail wind.

Your bike looks awesome especially Red. Currently ride R1 2012. Looking to change to S1000rr but Kawi Zx10r with all those features kind of confuse me. What is your take comparing Zx10r vs S1000rr since price is drastically different.

+Sohail. I have not ridden the zx10r, so I can't give you any perspective there. I do know the Kawi was changed in 2016 though. Brembo breaks, front suspension, and lighter engine components to mention a few. It has quick shift up now too. I personally think both are great looking. The BMW is packed with technology and has a savage engine. I'd say go test ride one and see. Look at the warranty BMW has as well.

In short ABS Pro takes into account your lean angle to make ABS calculations. It's available in Rain, Sport, and Race. Than manual also says ABS Pro was purposely designed for use on public roads. I suppose you could use in in Race mode on the track though. I think it's a great feature for safety. If you download the user manual on the BMW website you can read up on it.
