Tragedy is that this bike in USA costs under 15000$,and in my country (croatia) it cost 23600 $,which is unbellievable too much,but still I'll buy one piece anyway ....

@FAZER6N Yeah, but you get to live in Croatia!

Do u have to order it, inorder to buy one ? is there available in any bmw's dealer? thanks fo postin, i want one !

[getshokin]

I want one too! I think you should probably call your local BMW dealer: I have no idea what availability is like. I'll bet there's a few on showroom floors somewhere.

You're not confused: you know this bike is for experts!

One could get used to anything, but motorcycles are not sportscars. Mistakes have severe consequences. Make them on a small, cheap, slow bike. After a few years of riding and wrenching and racing and crashing, you'll start to understand why the S1000RR is so miraculous.

Otherwise it's just a pretty toy. That can kill you.

If you have to ask that question, this bike is not for you!

Thanks so much for watching and posting, though.

Probably meant to say, "get on brakes harder."

Unrehearsed, one take! This is YouTube: you get what you pay for, baby!
