quote:

The individual parts are the best money can buy, but the holistically designed 1190RS is even better than the sum of its parts. Exceptional mass centralization, revised chassis geometry and radically reduced unsprung weight let the bike handle unlike any motorcycle we've ridden before. Agile at any speed, it's remarkably responsive and dead-nuts neutral even under very aggressive trail-braking-the exact opposite of the heavy-steering, slow-turning 1125R. Blade-sharp reflexes mean you can always tighten your line, even in the fastest corners, allowing the bike to carve through Road America's Carousel and Kettle Bottoms on unimaginable trajectories.

May claims the 1190RS streetbike is quicker out of the box than his 1125RR racebike, and this is completely plausible. The superlight machine feels preternaturally fast, accelerating with an urgency that surpasses even BMW's overdog S1000RR.

I knew I'd read that before. Surprised you missed it Blake, it being in the racing section and all.

Ah, darn. I just heard about it recently from a friend who had the September issue... figured it had already been posted but couldn't find it.

Precisely . . . . "Re-Thud".

By the way . . . . timing for that and Jens announcement could NOT have been better today.

Hooray for the home team.

now if they could just make it for $20k... I wonder what their next rendition will be? Will they focus on the extremely high end as with this or will they try to find a way to get that price point down without sacrificing too much?

It'll be interesting to watch that's for sure!

"opposite of the heavy-steering, slow-turning 1125R"

Hmmm...

I do not profess to have the experience with the number of bikes the author has, but everyone I've traded with (GSXR, Ducs, etc.) almost always comment on how well the 1125R turns - that, and the torque are what usually garner the most comments.

So I guess with the 1190 you don't even have to provide any steering input - just look around the turn and off it goes - cool.

I can't wait to see the "Decontented" versions that I might actually be able to afford.
