Rumor has it at our local race club a former #1 plate holder is coming back and racing the BMW. And he still is VERY VERY fast. I can't wait to see if this plays out to be true.

I wish I had known about it.

I know one guy that was there. He is racing the bike this year but unfortunately doesn't have the speed to use the bike to its potential.

I am the first to admit that I was a skeptic when everyone started raving about this bike but it must be pretty special.

They made such of a big deal about the 09 R1 and to me it is a nice bike no doubt but DID NOT live up to the hype but this Bimmer seems to be...time will tell.

I hope it does well in WSBK, just because I like to see someone other than the big 4 winning.

I would still rather have the R1 because of the way its engine feels/sounds...........Although I hear it has heat problems
