Stock for stock, I would take the s1000rr if I was spending my own money. If I had a "blank check" I would have a shit ton of motorcycles.

The stock BMW seems to be winning more than the stock RSV in FIM.

I thought that BMW was second to last while Aprillia was in 3rd?

A BMW is killing the field in Superstock 1000. #1 is like 100 points while #2 (a honda) is like 46 points in the standings. The BMW has won all 4 races they have run. The WSBK boys are far from stock. The Superstock are much closer to the real showroom floor bike.

NIce. Still haven't seen the Aprilia in person, but I can say the BMW is fucking sick.

Ah. Who fucking cares which one is 1mph faster. How many of yall bought a bike because it was considered "the best?"

The RSV4 is fucking sick in person.....

But I'd take the BMW for street/track use. Oh no I wouldn't forget it.

Aprilia = consistently the best styling of any manufacturer

I'd even buy an R1 over the S1000rr. The R1 sounds 10 times better, especially with an exhaust.

You can get the s1000rr for 15730 MSRP for the abs/traction control/quick shifter model. Left out the alarm option. You can't even get the baseline RSV4 for that price MSRP.

$ for $ the s1000rr is a better value and option for a stock model.
