Sure, the S1KRR doesn't sport the cf, adjustable rearsets, Ohlins suspension and cnc billet finishing touches; but, the massive hp and the ability to add panniers and the other superbike stuff gives it more appeal to the long distance sport rider IMO. Will, BMW relegate the boxer to the GS/RT market and move fully into the high output water cooled sport world? Is the sport boxer his-toe-ree?

My gut feeling is BMW will stay in the twin sport market....I sure hope. As far as the HP2S sitting beside the 1000R, well I don`t think that HP2 looked worried at all. Its kind of funny...I was sitting on and admiring the 1000r but kept staring at the HP2.
