Default New bike!

Well Bmw called and my new bike is here someone else bought it then changed his mine ohh well I was next. Put 125 mile on it and it feels very light slim and alot a power on the low hp 41 it is plenty peepy but i only rode that way for a few miles then switched to the 49 hp setting and it really wakes up. premium gas really tall but managable I ordered a set of hubs so I can lace 17's for street riding. I'll keep you updated.

WOW! I didn't know BMW made such an animal. The tires look really agressive. What brand of tire does the bike use? Congrats bro, looks fantastic.

They give you a big thick book and a DVD but 2 hr service then 15 hrs then every 25-30 hrs If racing change the rod and the piston every 70 but no way this bike will be ridden hard but not that hard probably piston in the 150 to 200 hr range I'll note the compression and then just keep a eye on it. I'll delve deeper in the maintains when i get this first one out of the way.

Awesome man! But I don't understand why some bikes need more maintenance than others. My philosophy is treat it nice, change the oil all the time, and you should get a lifetime of enjoyment from it. Man that thing is SAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!
