    This shares the garage with my Harley (and a couple of other bikes)

    Its a 2016 BMW S1000RR and its absolutely unbelievable.

    Claimed 199hp at the crank, but likely more, as they're regularly between 185 and 195rwhp with a pipe. 204kg wet weight.

    The electronics on it are insanely good. It uses the Bosch IMU which is a super complex bit of kit, and takes into consideration lean angle, throttle, traction, etc

    Its even got lean angle ABS, which if you're knee down in the corner with the bike lent over, and smash the front brake, it won't low side on you, and wont let you apply enough braking force that the bike would drop.

    Neville Lush Racing in Victor Harbor make a 280 RWHP kit for the Rocket 111's that is naturally aspirated.

    Nothing for the cops to defect you on, they are insane, and that is what is going on the new bike.
