I personally would have an 1198R... when it comes out
+1 Besides, I don't care if the BMW, gixxer, CBR, or whatever has XXX hp and does the 1/4 mile in XXX sec. There's far more to motorcycling than that. As for the track, the rider is a significant factor, if not the primary factor.

I think BMW makes some cool bikes but I'll stick with my 999R!

Yes, I have a 2006. I'll try to post some pics this weekend. The pictures I currently have are of poor quality. I'll be gone all day tomorrow so will try to take some shots on Sunday.

A couple of pics of my '06 999R. My pug decided that he should be a part of the 2nd pic!

Keep in mind that this is BMW's first year in WSBK. I believe they said they are hoping to be in the top 10 this next year, then be competitive (as in able to get some podiums) the year after?
