    I went to the BMW dealership and requested to testride a M1000R. To which they said i couldn’t because they didn’t have one to testride. So here’s what i did: i went to the KTM dealership, asked to testride a 1390 SuperDuke. «Sure» they said. So i testrode the new 1390, loved it, bought it. And i couldn’t be happier. It’s an animal and i LOVE it🥳

    I had a 22 M-Sport here in Australia with a tune and full exhaust. Loved the bike and the wheelie thing can sneak up on you quick.
    If I sat in the seat it would come up, I just stand on the pegs with full weight, but still keep your butt in the seat just touching whilst leaning over the tank and lean into the screen with your helmet, boom you will sling shot hard from 2nd gear without the front coming up (bumps excluded). I ran wheelie control for a bit while I got used to it and then dialed it back.
    So many guys are focusing on wheelies, but very few focus on keeping it down and getting that hole shot launch.

    Oh yeah we don't get the restricted bikes in Ireland either so once your 1,000km (600 miles) is done your good to go. I have kept my bike totally stock though as my 3 year warranty won't expire until January 2024 - gotta look after your warranty. Seen the comment below on the price increase but lets face it the value for money on the early models including my 2021 m package was insane so its no surprise that the BMW bean counters eventually woke up and upped the price / or cut various features to the options list.

    I was going to buy the new 23 BMW as well all decked out. However it’s 4 hours to a dealership. So then I asked my local dealerships and they all said they can not services it. But just basic stuff like oil change, chain tightening, add on accessories etc…but to do service maintenance they said no and they can’t release the restrictions for the bike once it hits service break in. So I decided to just purchase the 2023 Kawasaki ZX10R. Oh well.

    My riding friend, sound like you are not exactly happy with your BMW. Things to think about, all bikes have a 600 mile break in, it sucks. But I always follow the instructions. Think about the longevity of the bike. I have put 80,000 miles on a Honda and in the scheme of things what is 600 miles? A 4,000 RPM dead spot is stupid, Euro compient tune can be changed. One of my bikes, a 660 Tuono has a dead spot between 5,000 and 6,200 rpm but messing with the engine parameters I was able to smooth it out. Still I don't ride it under 6,000 in the canyons. 7,000 to 10,000 is the sweet spot and I have learned to ride it like that. I will never know what it is like to buy a $25 k plus bike but after owning two Aprilia's big $$$ for militance is part of the deal. The upside is you will have a bike that will run forever and ever. Give it some time you will fall madly in love with it! Ride safe

    I hope not hurting anyone's feelings at this point in time, (of course all depends on how financially strong you are), but you forgot to mention that those motors should blow in between 20 to 25000 miles, depending how you broke in; usage; maintenance and etc..., and if it's a M model racing, that should happen around 5 to 6000 miles, and that was told by a BMW mechanic, so I had to hold on my decision. Regardless all that, the bike is a monster.

If you want a good quick bike that is bulletproof, just buy a used FZ1 for 5k. I did 150 mph on an FZ1 on 75 in Fort Myers. I don't know why anyone needs more than that. I never understood spending 20k + for a bike. But then again, I am a long wolf who doesn't care about racing anyone or impressing anyone.

    Why are you complaining about break in. They do that so idiots don't buy it an shred their piston ring and cylinder walls. It so people don't destroy their bikes and blame bmw. Also bikes have power bands stop moaning.

    I have had dozens of motorcycles. The most unrefined, one, the one with the most flaws in the design, the one I did not trust., The one that had dangerous designs that were not corrected before they pushed it out the door, was the only BMW I ever owned, my K 1200 LT
    i’m one of those old guys that usually has three or four motorcycles at any one time. Sometimes I will have a motorcycle for just a few weeks, other times, I may have a motorcycle for 17 years. I felt that I deserve to have the best at least once. And I thought that BMWs were the best by reputation. So I bought the best BMW they made…
    it had a smooth motor, I was not into high speed anymore, but I felt that the motor had adequate power. It wouldn’t even touch the power that my Honda GL 1800 Goldwing had.. The Goldwing had ridiculous power. Totally overdone in the horsepower area. I thought the BMW was gorgeous, I thought it was practical even though the six cd changer took up about a third of the left saddlebag, the irony there is, I do not turn on any radios or cbs or intercom’s or. or Bluetooth, when I’m on a motorcycle, I’m riding, I’m not listening or talking two other motorcyclists or my passenger..
    I have had friends that have had BMWs. One of my friends, I drove his car home when he picked up his K 100 BMW back in the 70s when they first came out. We picked it up after we both got out of work one evening. He got on his bike and headed home and I was driving his car to his house.
    I pulled in the driveway first, and he pulled in behind me and ran into the house. It was about 8:55 PM. I said well how is it? He said I gotta call the dealer to see if he’ll take this thing back.
    he hated it. He spent the next seven months trying to sell it. He ended up trading it in at a loss on an FJ 1200..
    i’ve had other friends that I’ve had more motorcycles and I have had that have had BMWs. K 75, K 100. They hated them too..
    but I bought the K 1200 anyway.
    just a few little nagging things
    if I rode somewhere and use the side stand, and then came out of a restaurant half an hour later, I would start the bike, and it would pour white smoke out the exhaust, a lot of smoke
    dealer said don’t worry about it it’s normal
    The front end did not dive under breaking. Every other motorcycle dives. The energy goes into the fork springs under breaking, the oil and the forks controls the spring rebound. But not the BMW. That energy when you’re breaking has nowhere else to go but to make the motorcycle feel like you’re pushing around a refrigerator in a wheelbarrel.. I have had three Yamaha ventures, a Goldwing, and that BMW, K 1200 LT. All of those machines weighed almost 900 pounds. I never dropped any of my Venture’s or my Goldwing. I dropped that BMW in slow slow parking lot maneuvers twice because of the no field electric brakes, and the anti-dive front end that no other company has copied.
    The windshield, you have to look through it because it’s so tall on the K 1200 LT. It is so distorted it’s dangerous, especially at night or in the rain.
    around the world, BMW was having final drive failures. There was one picture on the Internet of a final drive that had really failed inside, and it broke out a chunk of the housing. The bike was sitting there with a hole in the final drive in the gear lube was on fire… I had a collision with a deer at 70 miles an hour. I didn’t go down. It was a rotisserie replacement of all the fairing parts and the frame under the fairing in the headlight area, the price of the parts alone was $5500 in 2010.
    The cost of the mirrors that both flew off the bike and went straight to China, because they were not tethered with little cables like Honda does on the ST in the Pacific coast. These were pieces of glass mirror in plastic housings. In 2010, each of those mirrors was $492. After tax, that’s almost $1100 for two lousy mirrors.
    I knew one of the mechanics at a BMW shop. I stopped in to get a new oil filter and I saw him working there. I was a salesman at a Honda motorcycle dealership in the 80s and he was one of the mechanics there at that Honda shop.
    I stopped to shoot the breeze with him and talk about old times. And on his lift table, he was working on a BMW K 1200 LT. He had off the trunk, the bags, the seat, the rear wheel, the swingarm, and the transmission..
    I asked him, what’s up with this? He said the slave cylinder leaked onto the clutch, I’m replacing the clutch and the slave cylinder. know anyone that works on their own motorcycles knows that to replace a clutch on a Japanese motorcycle is may be a two hour job and the clutch plates, the fiber ones and the metal ones might cost you $200..
    so when he told me that that clutch replacement job is going to cost the owner about $4500, that took my breath away. That was the 2010 price. Now 14 years later, how much is that job, $10,000?
    That day I was talking to that mechanic, I was in there to pick up an oil filter. One oil filter for my BMW K 1200 LT, $26… how much is that filter today? 14 years later, $52??
    The back brakes on my K 1200 LT squealed as though you would think that the metal was being cut on a brake lathe.. it was head turning loud when I would use the back brake. You would swear that my pads were all the way down to the rotor.
    I told the dealer about it. He said he could fix it for $750 plus labor.
    I told him I would do it myself. What do I have to do. He said you have to buy an aftermarket, rotor and pads…
    I ended up just changing the pads and putting silicone behind the pads, that helped some, but I actually forced myself to not use the back brake at slow speeds. Which I did not like to do on that monster, because I liked to have my brake hand free to finesse the throttle, while I was slipping the clutch and steering the motorcycle, while holding it up at slow speeds, complicated by the fact that the front end did not dive under breaking..
    I could go on and on, but I just wanted to point out that, a lot of the BMW owners that are honest will admit, they are not nearly as good as a Japanese bike.
    apparently, a lot of people are catching on to that. The snob appeal does not have as much weight when they see how much these things cost and how good they are not compared to the Japanese.
    I say that, because, there were three BMW shops within an hour of my home, now they are all gone, Out of business..
    at one time BMW set the standard for dependability, high mileage, long distance, riders..
    That was when they made air cooled twins..
    BMWs sure ain’t what they used to be

      This guy doesn't know what he's talking about. I agree with you, the break in is no big deal. He doesn't understand tight tolerances on high performance equipment. He needs Jap bikes with with loads of variation. Then he can just go out and thrash the tits of it without concern out of the box. I mean who the F complains about only getting to 9k in break in rotfl. What a clown, then it's of for 4k of the rev range it has a massive flat spot and "needs" re-tuning. rotfl. This guy is a clown. He needs to watch Motoamerica racing or something, then he will see how his flat spot on the stock bike really is. They race these in stock form, this guy is an internet genius and there are loads of them about. I have all brand of bike, including an R1 and this guy is just errrrrrrr in need of a bike less sophisticated lets say. Massey Ferguson or John Deere is more his speed lol.

BMW makes nice stuff but they're almost never reliable, all S1000R before the current generation were timer bombs and yeah they were the fastest for a while but for average consumers none of that matters if won't work lol. Same happened with BMW cars, not very reliable, it's just german things.
