Having ridden the S100RR with Full Sport options. ie Traction control, quick shift, ABS etc and now riding the Standard model I can say that I personally prefer the Standard one. I have asked my dealer to fit the quickshift as a "toy" but the bike is such a beauty. It has a full two year warranty. BMW build quality and although Yellow was not my first choice of colour but for less than £9K brand new I will live with it!
of course you do!

Depends upon your attitude. I did a day at Brand's and it poured down all day - started just as we were going out for the sighting laps, stopped an hour after we finished and the day before and day after were gorgeous (Grrrrr) - but I found that I probably rode smoother and better than normal because I was so conscious of grip levels (or the absence of them). On most track days I've had the odd, little "moment" but that day in the wet was the exception. And when I went back to Brand's a few weeks after, when it was dry, I was quicker than on previous visits.
Oh yeah, no doubt you would learn a lot. Even commuting in the wet teaches you to be smooth. When I'm on the bike at a track day I don't fear personal injury at all....more financial ruin.

Straight out of the box Normal retail price is £11950. You can have one of these for just £8995 on the road ready to go! Part exchance and finance available. Be quick though this offer is on a first come first served basis.

For £8995 the Standard bike suits my budget better against £13300 for the Sport ?
I'm sorry- but I didn't get the price for the bike...could you maybe quote it for us?Bike threads much funnier than PH car threads...
Looking at K1300S as returning to 2 wheels - reckon that'll do - This RR way too hardcore for me and managed to stay on this planet this far so dont see the need to push my luck too ...
Self-promo a bit much but who cares - thats big $$$ savings...
Can anyone recommend good biker training to get my eye back in (Surrey)
Cheers

No disrespect but anyone who goes out and buys a bike like this or even a sports 600 for that matter as a first bike, is in serious danger of becoming an accident statistic.BILL PAYER said:

Why? It's probably more forgiving than a lot of other bikes out there and if it's a first bike then they're less likely to push it too hard.
