Do the haters here understand that BMW went from zero to over 20% of the liter sport bike market in 2 years, and keep on taking market share from everyone and winning just about every head-to-head review of the class?
I briefly considered the S1000RR, and I love my Panigale with no regrets whatsoever, but sheesh, such hate just because of its looks?
You must be the design freaks that buy Dyson vacuums/fans and Bang & Olufsen audio at ridiculous premiums over competitive products because they look so great and likely because a hint of snobbery as well.
is the s1000rr a cool bike....yes
would it be cooler if the headlights didn't look retarded....hell yes
so instead of 20% maybe they should aim for 40% which likely would happen if they got some nice looking headlights.
I owned one and still wouldn't mind an HP4, but those headlights gotta go. Plus it's hardly the most reliable engine in the liter class bunch.
