QUOTE: "Aside from company logos and "BMW" stamped on the engine covers, the S1000RR doesn't look much like a traditional BMW. In fact, it looks similar to superbikes from the Japanese factories."

You mean your not going to race one of your aeroplane engines then?...

Even BMW realise that Shaft drive and "funny front ends"

If it wasn't for the BMW logo, a quick look would have me guessing ZX10R or maybe R1. Funny to see the Europeans copying the Japs now.

Isn't it about time we saw a Triump WSB contender too?
