Great video.

Originally I was going to get the BMW S1000RR but just like our cars, it is LOADED with technology. Too much to go wrong and I just wanted to ride.

Electronic intake pipe injection/digital engine management with knock sensor. Dynamic traction control with Sport, rain, race and slick mode. There is also an option for real ABS. I think it is much safer to own a car with all that technology than a bike as with a car, you have much better control about what happens.


Maybe I just don't trust that stuff yet. Who knows.

I feel like there would be too much artificial feeling on the bike. It should just be about you + 150HP + the grip of your tires.

Yep, thanks for that. Zero clutch, and you don't have to get off of the throttle.
