Default My New Ride!

My new ride, literally, you actually ride this thing. (Although I thought it would perfectly suit the "show us your ride" thread, I decided not to as it is not a Subaru)

Just picked my new beast up today. Brand new BMW HP4 #4691.
I know most of you won't know much about motorcycles, so here are a few stats for it.

1000cc (technically 999cc)
143KW + 112NM @ 14,200RPM
169KG Dry Weight, 199KG Fully Fuelled.
4 Adjustable riding modes.
DDC (Dynamic Damping Control, adjusted the suspension automatically as you're riding it)
Full Titanium Akrapovic exhaust with Carbon Fibre/Titanium Muffler.
Launch Control
Race ABS
DTC (Dynamic Traction Control)
Quickshifter (Clutchless shifting during throttle application)
Dual Monoblock Brembo Brakes on the front, single on the rear.
More carbon fibre than you can poke a stick at.

Now for a few photos, I even included the WRX in some of them just to keep the non bike lovers happy.

It certainly does, to say the least. Although the power delivery on this thing is incredibly smooth! However, it is rev limited to 9,000rpm for the first 1000kms for engine run in, so I haven't been anywhere near powerband yet...

What's the rationale behind the headlight set up?

Well, all BMW bikes are not symmetrical. Not only the headlights, both side panels on this bike are also completely different, the right side has "gills" the left side has a triangle shape.

Nothing is fun in the wet on bikes...
Yeah, that's what happens when the tyres are brand new and haven't been worn in at all yet. Quite a soft compound though in these Pirrelli Supercorsa tyres though so shouldn't take too long. Nice fat 200/55/17 rear tyre probably won't be very helpful in the wet, but it certainly will be in the dry!
