California Superbike to BMW

[Dave]

i wonder if bmw cut them a deal. Code's school is recognised worldwide and it would do much to bolster bmw's lack of cred in this segment

I'm sure it is a great bike. I look forward to riding one.

I'm just not sure it is the best tool for the trackday newbie or the aspiring amateur racer to learn on.

I also wonder is the move will eliminate the braking bike and the slide bike.

Kind of my thoughts, plus the cost of one of these bikes new is kind of expensive, IMO.
MSRP*: $13,800.00
OPTIONS:
Race ABS and Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) Combined: $1,480.00
Gear Shift Assistant: $450.00
Anti Theft Alarm: $395.00
Motorsports Paint Scheme: $750.00

TOTAL = $16,875 guess that isn't as bad as I thought, but still a lot of money.

Brake Rig, Onboard Camera Bike, No B.S. Bike, the Braking Trainer and the Lean/Slide Machine

The school recently added the Control Trainer, teaching riders to operate and correctly time their control operations.

Cost of the bike probably isnt a consideration given that they will depreciate them as business expense, BMW will love the press and get rid of a few bikes that wouldnt leave the dealerships this year anyway given the economy...
