Nice!

Nice bikes. The headlights just look odd.

That tablecloth trick was just way too cool! That BMW is growing on me more and more.
Hey a thought just entered my head...It would be way cool if BMW came out with a similar bike in a 250 model!!!

I bet most cycles can do this, use the same nylon cloth that it looks like they used (slippery) and choose any other cycle and go. The trick is to simply get the cloth moving and keep it going, he never went over about 20mph so I bet a 250 would do it, might be hard on a scooter but it sure would put that trick in it's place!

Me too!

Aprilia really punched BMW right in the gut with that one. Biaggi is leading SBK and BMW has one podium. Can't make them feel good. But hey at least they can pull a tablecloth off a very long table full of dishes.

I don't think they need to. Everything I've read about the S1000RR says it's basically a beginner bike. Not that it really is, but there are so many electronic nannies on it that leaving them all on, it would be almost impossible to crash it unless you were just being really stupid and completely disregarding the laws of physics. Keith Code just replaced his older ZX-6R's with the BMW and he said it is a great teaching tool.

This is the first in a trilogy of videos Aprilia has produced to highlight its RSV4.

EDIT: Video removed, same as the one 2 posts up...

I posted that up in the other thread you had started. I love this last video.
