196 at the rear wheel with all the emissions bullshit on it.
For context, the Panigale V4S is claiming 214bhp at the crank and gets 189 at the rear wheel on that same dyno.

You're right, way more Starbucks credit. We all know the only BMW's that hang out at Starbucks are the GS crowd.

If someone can honestly ride both of these bikes to such potential that they can really feel a difference between them, all the respect in the world to ya

The BMW has been the winner at IOMTT the last couple of years. There is more going on than maximum power with that bike.

Whatever that means
How are they doing in WSBK?:laughing

Better than Honda. That is a h.p. show.
Too many drugs? He doesn't have a ride? Dunno.
You guys seem to have missed the obvious point. You can't win at IOM with a poor handling bike. McGuinness won on a CBR more than once, which did not have the most horsepower, but handled well.

Huh what races??
I just saw 135. They finally topped 135 avg mph per lap in senior TT
They covered #1 and 2, winner was in 2nd entire race and took the win in the last sector. Both bikes were zx10. Same bikes the teams used last year as well

I have no f'ing idea what you are looking at, but here are the official records from LAST YEAR. :rolleyes
Actual facts
Here is the information from the IOMTT site:
Outright FASTEST LAP
Race records:
Definitely impressive, but it's the claimed (lack of) weight that has me drooling. My 2010 S1000rr puts out 193 to the rear wheel with a full exhaust, PowerCommander and AutoTune, and if I remember correctly, it weighs 440lbs fully fueled. 24lbs(?) less would be amazing and easily felt.

Still have that full frame sitting in the basement for you. Free to your good home.
What's the implications for the XR model? The potential i-four smoothness really gets me hard. F-ing Ducati on-off throttle response is annoying and a liability. Looking at used XRs is an exercise in frustration. Will BMW bake some of this awesomeness into the cake for commuters?
Love it!!!
Hate it...... cancelled mine.
You just needed to spend more money. :cool Handlebar kit will make it work for old backs. :afm199
