I bought a new BMW

[Aaron]

I made myself a deal that if I paid off my student loans, I could buy a new bike. Paid them off, and bought a 2013 BMW S1000RR that day. It's got dynamic traction control, heated grips, and ABS. So far it's pretty badass. First gear redlines at 93mph, and it'll pull the front tire up on throttle alone through 3rd.

Mods so far are a tinted double-bubble windscreen, Sato Racing rear-sets (GP shifted), removed the exhaust flap (Makes it louder, and rougher), Yoshimura fender eliminator, removed passenger pegs, and a Sargent seat. The only other mod I'm going to do is a custom HID projector retrofit. Can't fathom how a Ducati Panigale doesn't have a single light on the entire bike that isn't an LED (Headlights included), and the BMW has your typical incandescent reflector bulbs. I guess that's what you get when it costs the same as the BMW but makes 30whp less.

Congrats on paying off your loans!

Don't kill yourself...

Those bikes are fast. Glad to see you are doing well. You are straight ballin'

Good looking bike, though I do like the absurd yellow/gold color some of them came in.

Congrats on the buy. Ducatis are cool, but the BMW is completely bomb-proof in comparison.

Nice. That's a pretty serious bike. You going to track it?

I hated that color. It was between this color and a red/white/blue. I would have liked to find a "fire blue," it's like BMW's Laguna Seca blue, but they're very rare. The Ducati has this bike beat in sex appeal, but can't come near it in performance.

I don't ride fast enough or aggressive enough to take it on a track, I'm very much so the old man Corvette driver when it comes to my bikes.

Congrats on the loans and the bike.
