Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Claimed 207bhp and 197 wet weight.

I'm sure it will be brilliant just like the current one i guess..

Indeed, The first generation was a cracking machine, i look forward to the price.... its ain't gonna be cheap!

Looks good. REALLY good.

Is it me or has that rear shock top mount moved back a couple of inches and now mount on the subframe or a rearward extension of the main frame?

Wonder if there is a significant handling benefit?

The shock position has been discussed in a few places online

Would love a test ride next spring

Has it lost the weird headlights as well ?

Apparently so.

The engineering on these latest bikes is stunning but unless you are prepared to take it on track often, i cannot see there is really much of a incentive to buy one.
The V4 Panigale i tried earlier this year is so fast that its a certainty it would be a licence loser or a serious accident waiting to happen. The temptation to open that throttle and feel the acceleration is just too great to resist.

I liked the asymmetry of those older headlights.

Having said that.....the new ones look much better.

We'll get closer to it in Milan

So BMW have caught up with Kawasaki in their shock placement?

I think Kawasaki are still horizontal tbh Cav

Willing to become pre or post op if that's what works for you. You can pop your finger in my mouth, slap me about and call me sl*t
