Mad Otter,no reason to dampen your enthusiasm.But I think very few BMW faithful will buy the S1000RR.It's just another 1000 RR.Not proven either,as in reliability.But for sure good for stirring up some excitement and with world class riders as Corser and Xaus on board,no room for excuses either...
If wins come great.Otherwise it will be a very tough road with the big-4 coming out with new bikes every other season as also KTM RC8R,Ducati 1198S and Aprilia V4 joining the party...
I myself get rather more excited about the prospect of an 2010 DOHC R1300RS...
But if the S1000RR has an functioning traction control on board,in conjunction with the ABS,that also Honda has to offer for 2009,they might have a chance for commercial success and already leap-frogged the competition for now.
We'll see...
