Full Review: http://www.motorcycle.com/shoot-outs/2011-kawasaki-zx10r-vs-2011-bmw-s1000rr-...

A year after entering the hotly contested literbike market, BMW's S1000RR continues to impress us. During the racetrack-only portion of our 2011 Lliterbike Shootout the BMW über sportbike retained its favorite son status -- earned in its debut in the 2010 literbike shootout -- when pitted against Kawasaki's all-new for 2011 ZX-10R...

For viewer enjoyment I would like you to. 1. do a little homework on mic placement for motorcycle sound , on and off the bike. 2. Film Bikes completely really showcase them the more eye candy the better. 3. Record voices indoors for scripted voiceover where you can edit in more bike content and have a chance to get info complete. I personally am not subscribing to see You, but the Bikes. Your Info and opinions are great but this would Improve the quality Tons.

I like the looks of the bmw better. It just overall looks more expensive and sharper(my opinion of course). The 10r looks too much like a kids toy to me. Perhaps it looks much better in person than it does on video.

@neiljitsu R1 all the wy my friend

I am 6'1" and 200lb (92kg) What is most comfortable 1000cc bike? I know there are not built for comfort, but i do a lot of city riding and want a reasonable amount of comfort on my daily ride. Also have my lady on the back sometimes too!!

@tommy120482 it doesn't cost 8k more. maybe a 1k difference between both basic models.

@gonzosc1 uhhh....all cbr's do it. not all bikes do it lol.



[tommy120482]

The extra 5-10 horsepower isn't worth the $8k more you have to pay for the BMW in my opinion. Any litrebike has more than enough power and anyone who thinks different needs to have there head examined!! Besides the horsepower difference is at about 13k rpm, other than drag racing or if your a straight line junky your not gonna notice the difference. For mountain and canyon carving ill take the reliability of the Kawi all day. I just bought the zx10r last week and i must say its a BEAST!!

@THEOZ2106 ya at first I didnt like the lights on the beemer but now that I've opened my mind it looks badass. And after watching the video by gizmag. The S1000RR is the best bike you can buy.

[buckwheat40]

the asian guy is a dumbass, how can you say the Ninja looks better than the Beemer!!! you moron!

[buckwheat40]

@alehax27 ya the BMW looks expensive and badass. the ninja looks like a bike for a 18 to 24 year old kid. as you said a toy

@goguhu Harley-Davidson did 128mph in 1920. So BMW is not the first to excede 100mph. At that time Harley-Davidon had the crown for the fastest motorcyle in the world.
