If it is that bike, the article made me think long and hard about one of these but I am too much of a fat bastard to be comfortable on one!
Yep, has 4 modes - Rain, Sport, Race & Slick. All do various things with throttle response, lean angle, peak power, traction control, wheelie control, ABS etc. Also has quick shifter (clutchless upshift) from factory which is awesome.

Need to ask BMW for the special key to activate Slick mode as they don't allow it from factory, "Too aggressive and everything is turned off". Makes the throttle incredibly sharp and yeah you loose all the ABS, Wheelie control etc. Dad has it and last time at Collie threw it in slick and it did feel more urgent.

Big thing is its massive power, pulls away from any other thou with ease. On the track bike, much lighter & more hp than stock I have massive drive on it out of the corner but it just walks away down the straight.

That's similar to the Diavel. It has Touring, Urban and Sport modes. Touring and Urban it cruises around on 100hp but flick it over to Sport and it jumps to 161hp. Also has something like 7 modes for the traction control and abs etc. Very tricky indeed, I can't wait :-)

"learning" at 8500rpm is a toughy or maybe I'm soft
