Thanks for the heads up, signed up to test ride the S1000RR at 215pm! :)

Edit: test rode the 1200GSA as well, most blissful motorcycle experience I've ever had!

So, I should never ride a 1200SA or I WILL WANT ONE!

What did you think about the S1000rr?

The S1000RR was fine as well, couldn't really get a feel for it, since it was a group demo ride. We went through some bumpy roads, and suspension seemed great and it was a little more comfortable than the R1, if I remember correctly.

The R1 sits a little higher and position is a bit more forward I think.

It's going to be a difficult choice later this year. Especially since I got to ride my friend's RSV4 earlier this month and ping it. That was a blast and scary how much of a different experience it is at top speed than my triple. Will need to test ride the CBR and GSXR next! :P

It was Matt's '15 RSV4. Absolutely insane how it maintained power and pull all the way through to the top... Maybe all liter bikes are like that, but I don't have a whole lot of experiences for reference.

In about a month and a half or 2 months I will be back down and you can take the BMW for a spin and see how it feels without the limits of a demo day if you would like. Its a bit older than the stuff out now but it shouldn't be to far off what the new ones are like.

I don't think the ape's got a bump in power until '16
